Hello Everyone, If I take my car which is worth £90k in the UK and around $300k in Australia, and I have not had it for a year, how much tax and charges will I have to pay? It's not an old car, but its used. Any advice is appreciated - ta! Kat

Hello, I am buying a car, which I want to take to Australia when my partner and I move in October 2013. I will have a permanent visa issued by Jan 2013, which I have to activate before May 2013 by visiting Australia. We are hoping to do a bit of travelling then come home sell the house, to pack up our personal belongings for exporting. We don't intend to move until October 2013. I will be a UK resident until then. When we move to Australia it will be for good. I have read that in order to satisfy import regulations for the car, I must be in the UK for all of the year before we leave. What if we a spend a few months in Australia in January and February when I activate my visa? What if we decide to go to Australia travelling in Australia for longer? Can I still bring my car? Can I bring it in as a dealer? What is the difference tax wise? Any advice will be very welcome, thanks Kat
