Importing New Bike from UK - Ex UK VAT

Has anyone tried the above? I've searched Boards and found a few threads but no one has ever followed up on it. I'm going to be in touch with a number of dealers tomorrow about Form VAT 411 which allows non resident buyers to be exempted from VAT - allowing the buyer to subsequently pay VAT back in Ireland.

I'm going to be in touch with a number of dealers tomorrow about Form VAT 411 which allows non resident buyers to be exempted from VAT - allowing the buyer to subsequently pay VAT back in Ireland. Just want to see whether it is as easy to do as it sounds. It definitely beats having to be hit twice for VAT when it comes to new vehicles.

Thanks for reading.

Plenty of people did it in the Motors forum.

From what I remember you need to make sure that the dealer is willing to deal ex VAT and then just hand over the money.

BTW you only pay VAT once so even if the dealer won't entertain the 411 you can still buy the bike and reclaim the UK VAT, if you can afford to leave money tied up for a while. But if the dealer won't entertain the 411 form find a different dealer.

Are your licences valid for the bike you want? I heard of person who bought a bike in Belfast but due to bad luck and timing hasn't passed their A test yet and the Belfast shop won't release the bike till they have a licence.
