me thinking

[mainshiptom]

So if I sell my boat(Mainship 350) and buy an Elling E4 in the EU, would i have any issues brining it back?


Thanks in advance

Presumably, you mean "bring it back to the UK from the EU"
If so, yes, you would be importing the Elling into the UK.
If the boat was originally in the UK, and you were not the original exporter, AFAIK, you would have to pay VAT when you bring it into the UK.

Plus if brought back to the UK after the end of this year would need to get assessed and certified for compliance with RCR - the new UK equivalent of the EU RCD. Would think that might be simple, but may not be - particularly with engines.

Do you really think they even thought about boaters , if we were in the euro . That was a boating post mods , get off my back.

That’s the problem I think I would have. Because I’m the original exporter I can bring it back to the UK under a concession apparently negotiated by the CA/RYA, although I’ve seen nothing official yet.
I have mechanical KAD43’s. Would they pass the RCR compliance, dunno? I’m not aware this has been tested yet.

Nope.......IMO, politicians only think about themselves!

You mean 20 % off , ie VAT free if you buy a boat in the EU as a new found third party guy .

I realised that , did not need any MPs to mention .

Or the fact the used U.K. market prices are extra buoyant ( for those with U.K. vat paid boats in the U.K. ) because cheapie competition from the EU have evaporated .

What a pair of gifts !

Taking back control has added 20% to virtually everything and anything purchased from a private EU citizen by a private UK citizen who wishes to import it into the UK.
In the case of a boat this could amount to considerable sums of money, possibly tens of thousands.
It needs pointing out that the 20% is on the total transaction which includes the purchase price and the costs of shipping and any other expence involved.
As "itama" has helpfully pointed out it has considerably limited the choice of boats on the market for a UK boater who purchase horizons extend beyond Dover.
It has also added 20% to the cost of selling your boat to any EU buyer.
On the considerable upside , selling your boat to New Zealand or Australia is tariff free.

But on the other hand, when boaters realise the EU is a wormer/ nicer place to boat, you save 20% on boats bought out there.

Also the big one
Now that the UK is our of the EU, you can buy a new boat, take it to the Med and not pay ANY VAT. Just follow the TA rules.
