Importing Vehicles from the EU to the UK
Whether you’re returning your beloved car from an EU adventure or bringing a new one back home, the rules changed on December 31st, 2020. Don’t fret! We can smooth your path.
The Big Change
HMRC no longer calculates import taxes for private individuals.
You’ll need a Customs Agent to handle the paperwork and calculate those pesky import duties and VAT. They’ll charge a fee, but they’ll also save you a headache.
We can help you take the hassle out of importing your car into the UK.
Relief Options
Before rushing to the agent, check if you qualify for relief
If you previously owned the vehicle in the UK, you can claim Returned Goods Relief (RGR), as long as the vehicle was not purchased brand new under a VAT Free Export Scheme. Under this relief there would be no import Duty or VAT to be paid. The 3 year return rule does not apply to private individuals.

Proof of Origin
UK laws and regulations have recently changed, and to reduce the amount of import duty charged, you must now provide acceptable proof of origin, such as a statement of origin from the supplier. As of January 2026, a certificate of conformity no longer counts as proof of origin, as it only confirms product compliance and does not prove where the goods were manufactured, meaning it cannot be used to claim reduced or preferential duty rates.
Transfer of Residence Relief (TOR)
If you have moved to the UK for 12 months or more and you have owned and used the vehicle for at least 6 months in your name before coming to the UK, you may be entitled to claim Transfer of Residence Relief (TOR). There would be no import Duty or VAT required to be paid if the relief is granted. This relief can also be claimed for any personal and household items you bring with you to the UK.
