Hi there
Hoping for a bit of advice on the above subject.
I own a 1963 Fairey Huntsman 28 which I bought 3 years ago.Clearly the boat is old enough to qualify for VAT exempt status, do I have to prove this? As far as I can ascertain the boat was in Yarmouth IOW on the critical date of 31 Dec 1992. The previous owner has died and his widow has no further docs. Yarmouth harbour does not have records back that far and although they remember the boat there then they will not write a confirmation letter without records. I appreciate that UK customs no longer has the "Dover" VAT letter unit but what should I do about visiting France? Crossing fingers is not an option. Appreciate any thoughts
Thanks
