my consideration here is if I buy a plane for let's say 10k, paying an extra 2k for vat is not going to bankrupt me. I've no intention in avoiding or circumventing the law. What I don't want however is that my tax man looks at cessna or piper web site and decides that my 50yo spam can is worth in the area of 400k USD and bills me accordingly. So I was hoping for some first hand experiences with this.
The 61.75 licence is much more straight forward than moving registration and can be done (at a higher cost) without going to the US.
ah now that's something I'm interested in - go on?
