Taxes and Regulations Governing Import

When importing, you will need to pay all fees associated with importing including the VAT which is based on the value of your vehicle. There are specific regulations that are mandatory such as vehicle adherence to Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989 apart from ensuring that the vehicle meets ass safety and emission requirements. You may get more information about it at the Individual Vehicle Approval Scheme.

If your vehicle is a classic that was built before 1950, you will not be charged any duty and the VAT is only 5%. If you are shipping a truck into the country or a commercial vehicle, you will be charged 22% duty as well as the VAT of 20% that is standard. If your vehicle will be in the UK for less than six months, you will need to fill out and submit form C110 which will make you exempt of those fees. Additionally, you will need to submit import document C104A. If you intend importing a car to England that is over thirty years old, you might need to get more information at the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). You may not need to pay any taxes or maximum of 5% VAT, if there are no modifications done to the chassis and engine of the vehicle. If you are importing a commercial vehicle, the taxes are about 22% with an additional 20% VAT.
