My first post...
I'm US Air Force stationed for the next three years in the UK at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk.
This is probably a long shot but I'm wondering if anyone in here is in the same status or can tell me about VAT charges?
I've researched shipping and spoken to Vans at Oshkosh this year and I understand that most import duties are free for aircraft parts. However, VAT (Value Added Tax) in the UK is 20% and I'm not too keen on giving Her Majesty 20% of the price of a good purchased from a company in the US for a good that will be constructed here but not used until I get back to the States.
Anyone know anything about this kind of thing?
Thanks,
Greg
Future RV-7(A) builder...and maybe an RV-10 hopefully someday.
