So after we've made room for the cat stuff (!) we're only taking clothing for a few months, some personal items, some small electrical items like a laptop, sewing machine and a Switch. Maybe a few books and CDs (but really very few). Perhaps I will take one of my bikes. No furniture or anything like that. Nothing that we should pay tax on. All the bigger items will stay in Italy until we see what happens with our house. Maybe we'll sale the furniture with the house. But we would then still have various things that have personal meaning (photo albums, pictures, various knick knacks, etc) to move. To me it seems likely that we would just go through customs like any other car with people returning to the UK after having been away for the summer in a second home... BUT we are actually transferring residence (we've already done lots of the paperwork). So when should we do a TOR1? Now or wait until if we sale our Italian house and move everything in bulk?

Not sure what you mean...is it a play on words with the different meanings of "kitty"?
