Does anyone know what, if any, taxes and/ or duties are payable when importing or exporting a classic vehicle between two EU countries? Am I right in thinking there are no taxes or duties to pay (when either importing or exporting)?

Thanks,
Dave

You need to be able to show you have paid VAT in the country you've purchased it in or they will charge you at the UK rate!

I checked this out when I bought my car from BBT.

From the HMRC website...

"Second-hand vehicles and temporary visits
If you're importing a second-hand vehicle, you don't have to pay VAT - as long as you paid VAT in another EU country when you bought it. If you normally live in another country in the EU and bring a vehicle with you on a temporary visit to the UK, you don't need to notify HMRC - or pay any VAT."
