I’m considering buying a new boat from Europe to UK, (under 20 feet, no engine). I understand the VAT in EU is normally already paid, I need to pay 20% VAT in UK again and 10% import duty. Some brokers in EU don’t even sell to UK buyers anymore, after Brexit.
How practically can I actually do this? How do I “import” it to UK?
Are there people or companies transport and import for me and manage the whole process and paperwork, or is it something or process I should or can manage myself?
Is it possible to buy a boat in EU without paying EU VAT?
Other than all above, is there anything I missed and need to do?
Many thanks
