Mini Forwarders For Sale?

[muldonach]

Say I popped over to Sweden to purchase a Bison directly, then attempted to bring it back by towing it on the ferry. Would there be any sort of import tax to pay? And by Bison I mean the forwarding setup, not the cow

 

You would need to demonstrate that you had paid VAT or if you don't pay

VAT in Sweden you will need to pay in on arrival in UK. Also need to advise ferry what you are bringing over and brace yourself for charges

Which ferry did you have in mind?

[slasherscot]

there is no vat when importing from Sweden (EEC countries) if ur Vat registrated.... the exact reason escapes me at the moment. they dont charged u and u dont reclaim from UK Vatman

if u get it picked up and delivered to ship and then to hull it was about £900+vat including insurance... 2 years ago

Out of desperation to buy a forwarder, I almost bought this today. Bloody glad I didn't as the ground clearance is only 20cm and the Mk 3 cannot accommodate caterpillar tracks. It will pull 8 ton though: Supacat , MK3, #28682 - MOD Sales, Military Vehicles & Used Ex MOD Land Rovers for Sale

 

You'd think that 20k could get you a nice low impact setup. Keep on trucking, hey.

Yes Chris, I'm discussing it with the seller at the mo. Thanks for the tip though.

Did the salesman tell you that? Looks as if it would struggle with a quarter of that! The trailer in the avatar is 8-9 tonne with that load on and I cannot see that supacat moving it very far

According to the following website, in ideal conditions (so probably very flat!) the Supacat will tow 2 tonnes

Oh. I'm sure the max towing capacity mentioned was 8000ish kg. Could be wrong.
