Import tax after living abroad

grizzly · 2010-02-05 11:18:35

My brother has spent the last 2 years in the US. He's going to be coming back in October. If he buys a laptop now, will he have to pay import tax?

I think the rule was 6 months or older for not paying import tax (proof by receipt may be required) when the question was up last time oh 3 months ago. The information should be up on the revenue site or a quick call to their centre; they are very good at helping with questions like this.
