Shipping your car tax free?
If I did decide to ship my car (Audi R8, so it's daft to sell and buy it again in AU at the Audi prices there), as I have owned the car for more than 6 months, I've heard there might be a 'one-time' tax free import option - any truth in this?

- There is "no one time tax free import" for cars.
- Even if you qualified to import, which you don't, they would screw you silly with Duty and LCT on an R8
I suggest you read the following:
DITRDLG: Importing Vehicles to Australia
DITRDLG: Importing Vehicles to Australia - VSB10 Notes (PDF)
DITRDLG: Importing Vehicles to Australia - VSB10 Application Form (PDF)
You might also want to have a trawl through an article I wrote on my experience importing my car last year.
