Travelinsal Have a look at my post: http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/transport-shipping/97053-transporting-your-car-oz-everything-you-need-know-75.html#post1345744 I brought in my M5 which was a slightly older model so the value fell under the luxury car tax (the independent valuation, not the redbook market value). The LCT of 33% is only applied to the amount above the threshold (threshold is ~$57k) so even with that on top, it should still be worthwhile.

Guest 2yyiam Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi IronChef, First of all, great work in the forums about this all, must require a lot of effort!! I have an e457 visa, hoping to move in April. For the test to see if importing my car is worthwhile: 2004 BMW 330d with aircon, 120,000miles UK Value: £5,000 OZ Value: can't seem to find it on redbook Also, speaking to various shipping companies, one mentioned that it maybe possible to import a car that you've owned for less than 12mths (as long as the car is older than 12mths) - you have to sign/pay for a bond that guarantees that you won't sell the car in Oz and take it back with you when you return to the UK. Is this true/possible?? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Chef Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Iron Chef, you missed me out?!! Weird for some reason I used the multi-quote function but yours aren't showing up when I reply! Using a few rough calculations it still comes in as a Category A. If you haven't owned the car for 12 months, you can bring your car in under a Carnet De Passage, which is effectively a passport for your car. You don't have to pay taxes, but you can't sell the car and have to export it before your carnet expires. When I find some spare time, I'll update that one my website lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
