Two Questions in one!
 

Done a quick search and cannot find any answers - so hope you can help?

Question 1. You buy a helicopter second hand and do not pay VAT on it as you buy off a private individual who originally paid the VAT on import. I have heard rumours of officials in France and other countries impounding heli's without proof of VAT payment. I don't have this as I didn't get it from the previous owner....Any advice? Other than avoid landing in France? :confused:

Question 2. Whats the youngest you can take your son / daughter up? Have you used special child seats? (as per car seats?) if so which ones?

Any help much appreciated!!!

Hi Rotorspin
vat is for the end user so buying private is not a problem
try contacting Hm customs & ex France is in EU so it should not be a problem.

Good luck it may be a mine field.:ugh:
