Buying a tax-free bike in UK
Hi to you all. I am starting to plan a ride from London to Cape Town in a year or so's time.
I'm considering buying a new bike in the UK on the VAT (purchase tax) free scheme and eventually exporting it at the end of the ride back home to Australia.
Has anyone any experience of whether the fact that the bike is purchased free of tax has any bearing on the international carnet system?
Or anything else for that matter.
I know that when I import it into Aus I will have to pay customs charges and probably some tax as well, that isn't what I am asking about, just the journey.
Thanks in advance, Al.
