Note it is actually more than 18 months if you haul out and get the haul out time properly recorded.
Not many boats in the CI compared to the EU. My point is simple, if a UK buyer couldn't find what they wanted in the UK they had the option of looking in the EU. Certainly the fall of the pound made pricing higher and transport would be more, but now you need to add 20% and paperwork on top of all that. Prices the EU out of the game unless you are very wealthy!Not quite sure what you meant by the last line?
So put Channel Islands into the mix and buy a boat there not tax paid....
Think of it the other way round.Not many boats in the CI compared to the EU. My point is simple, if a UK buyer couldn't find what they wanted in the UK they had the option of looking in the EU.

Simple, you can't.OK....100k euro boat in the Med is VAT paid......how am I going to buy it 80k euro vat unpaid without being a company and paying £100k euro but then claiming the VAT back.
If you are saying that there are relatively few UK residents with boats in the Med, there are lots of us.Obviously when I said UK buyer I wasn't clear enough. I would imagine relatively few boat owners living in the UK will have their boat out with the UK.
Plenty about esp at boat shows new .Yes Porto.....but I can’t get 20% off unless I buy a boat that is not VAT paid.
Not many in the sub £100k sector id suggest. Maybe ex charter bashed up stuff
Wonder how many have held off ? Covids not exactly been stoking up the U.K. to Med market .So happy I didn’t purchase an ex demo sunseeker last year.......VAT was almost £200 k !
