Question Buy a car from the UK and shipp to CYP

Hi everybody. I live in cyprus iam eu citizen and iam thinking of buying a

car from the uk. I ask lot of people but i get diferent answers. Are there

any taxes or customs fees i have to pay?? Specifically, the model is ford

mondeo 1.6 petrol, year is 2007 or 2008. And if i have to pay some fees,

then my second question is -->> why?? We are in europe union and if

allready duty has been paid in the uk, no cause for anyone to pay nothing

!!!!!!


Thanks a lot!!!!!

I hve recently shipped from the UK and the moving company information stated that to not pay additional duty i had to have owned the car in the UK for 6 months and not been in cyprus for 6 months or something.... To your second question quite simply its illegal!! but the government earn more in duty than the EU penalties so have no problem enforcing and illegal tax!

"This is Cyprus".... :-)

Anyone heard about the Cyprus government is planning to abolish import taxes???

I met a few people who talked about it and said that it read in the newspapers

Will be really interesting to see what will happen if the Comission decide to put sanctions on Cyprus.

I believe that when the Cypriot government has not granted what the EU wants, they will pay a heavy fine... and it probably doesnt want anyone :-))

They allready today pay fines for taking out the tax but dont seem to bother because they earn more on the tax. So I hope the sanctions will be something else that really hurt

I want to buy //import used car from UK//before this summer, therefore I hope this problem will be solved.. if not i will tell them this --> This cypriot rule discriminates against non-Cypriot EU citizens and is contrary to Article 18 of the Treaty on Functioning of the European Union..
