tax rate in UK

[cyue005]

Hi guys!

I just checked out that i might be ok for tax free purchase in UK (i m not so sure if anyone know correct me) I want to know how much tax does UK put on their cars?? how many %?

 

[KDF]

17.5 last time i checked

 

[cyue005]

holy crap...... so does that mean i can take off 17.5 % of the retail price? or m i being stupid here

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Umm how are you gonna claim tax back on a car?

And yes, you are being stupid for not knowing that VAT is 17.5%

 

[cyue005]

dude i dont live in UK i m in New Zealand

but i have to pay my GST here at 12.5%

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Then your forgiven!

But if you live in New Zealand why would you be buying a UK car?

 

[cyue005]

coz its like $50000 more in nz for the same thing ahha

plus i m visitin europe in June/July

Then if you can claim tax back, yes you would get 17.5% back.

The 172 retails at £15995 from Renault in UK, most car supermarkets do them for bewteen £11500-£12500, thats with VAT added on.

i already got the 172 now after a M3 .... the cheaper the better i guess

u haev any idea wut they are doin for a SMG M3 in UK? just basic UK spec along with Harman Kardon, Lumbar support system, 6 disc stacker (unbelivable that a 40000k super car doesnt have a flippin disc stacker)
