This is a move by UK Govt. via HMRC to close another tax loophole , so they can spend it more wisely than we, the individual taxpayer can !!

Anyway. I n the real world. The practical worry is this will make registering an old bike more difficult. I got on the HMRC website and read their info on the NOVA scheme. It said after 14th April , DVLA will not accept the C& E 389 Duty paid form as proof of tax paid. THAT`S the crucial thing. Nothing to do with a Q plate. > Which arrives if you don`t have a dating letter to prove its age Or a US Title with date of mfg.

Now . Given I have about "50 bikes" Imported duty paid , with C&E389 Forms attached. Awaiting restoration , and countless others out there with Customers. This could be a problem !!

So I phoned HMRC. Talked to their " Personal Transport " Unit in Dover. They will be implementing the scheme. It`s been dumped on them from above, and they are still working through the enormity of it . EEK !! I don`t think they or their Bosses realise the size of the work involved. ( As of course old " Historic " vehicles are a tiny percentage of their consideration )
I was asking simple questions , but it seemed like I`m the first to propose them. Questions like " What do I do with the 350 bikes I have previously imported ,and sold, but may not be registered as yet ?

To cut a long conversation, and an ongoing dialogue I`m having ( Which seems to be helping them formulate some answers . Again EEK !! People power !! )
If you go to DVLA with an older import. They THINK they`ll get referred to HMRC Dover to verify if there are any duties to be paid. Which is a current procedure for a vehicle without any Import tax paid documentation, at present anyway. The problem will be , the volume of this, and the time it takes for them to respond.
So allow a month or more extra when registering !!

On a brighter note. I`m waiting for their approval to go through my records and NOVA register all my outstanding Imports onto the new scheme. If I get the approval to do this, then that makes thing easier all round.
Lets hope they can make it that easy................?!!





best pop round with the H1D paperwork that you sold me & add it to your pile
