    Ok.

    Can anybody fill me in on the rules? Who’s done it and who’s had to pay what and when??

    I’ve seen a nice Cannondale frame on EBay. It’s considerably cheaper than what I could get it for over here.

    What I don’t want is to be got by customs for VAT.

    It’s from a private seller. It’s virtually new but would be classed as secondhand.

    What do you think I would pay if I get clobbered? Frames’s £600.

    I’ve asked the seller to declare it as a gift with a value of €50 to try and escape it. He’s gone quiet on me so I think all the emails about it are putting him off.

    Would marking it as a sample work?

    Be good to hear some direct experiences..

    Ta..

    I do think that asking on a public forum about the best way to be a tax dodger isn’t the most clever thing to be doing- and to backup what pdf500 says above-try and cheat the taxman if you want but don’t then moan about the state of the roads… 😕

    If you can afford to buy a new bike you can afford to pay the tax that you owe. Schools, hospitals, roads are paid for with that money. Everyone likes a bargain, but not paying any duties incurred is just stealing. I’m guessing you wouldn’t usually steal something, let alone ask a forum how best to steal.
