Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme

Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme

How far can they guarantee that quote?
And is that just for their services?
I cant see how they can quote for govt tax figures as that can be very difficult to pin down

Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme

So that's 100% income tax (or whatever name it goes by)

Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme

Well, there is not a huge variation in VAT compared to the difference between 2nd hand cars here and in the UK, for example

Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme

Ah. Thanks.

Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme
