Portugal issue??

[Inselaffe]

Was the boat on UK register when you bought it or German? If German and they're like the Portuguese, it must be VAT paid (or exempt) to put it under their flag.

Thanks @Graham376
It wasnt on the UK register, it had a German flag
I cant even remember if I had to deregister it from Germany, or if my application for the SSR handled that, or if I just didnt do it ..
It was 15 years ago now
I will look into myrecords
But that could be a good point

I also still have my Sportbootführerscheine See, but not sure how that (or my ICC) work now that I am resident in PT

Bloody thieving governments
If these certificates are to prove that we are competent, how come if we move we suddenly loose our competence?
I know the an$wer


PS: I found an email from years ago from ETAP themselves and they said that from my Hull number the boat was built in 1981, but still not sure how I got the day and month.
Pesky brain, never remembers anything
