help needed with importing a car..

[steve10001]

Hi all,

 

Maybe one of you guys can help us out.

Excuse the english language, i`m from the UK and my written norwegian isnt so good...

 

Anyway, my Norwegian girlfriend and i have been living in germany since mid 2001. She has been working here and paying taxes the whole time we have been here.

She bought a car about 4 years ago, and now we need to know the cheapest way of getting the car into Norway, ive looked through Toll.no but it doesnt make too much sense to me. Is it actually worth bringing this car over when we move back?

 

the car is a 2002 model volvo v70 - Kombi/Van

145ps

2.4 bensin

navigation system

air condition

140,000km

 

any assistance would be greatly appreciated:-)

 

P.s.

We need to bring all of our stuff over with us so we were thinking of buying a trailer, will we have to pay tax on that too, and if so, will we be able to sell it again shortly after we arrive?

 

cheers

I need the weight, price when new and the date of registration. Then i can find out the taxes you have to pay. If you're car is 1500 kg, first registrated in january 2002 and cost 20000 euros new, the taxes will be 18000 euros.

 

Check out: http://www.toll.no/templates_TAD/RegistrationTax.aspx?id=79&epslanguage=NO#anchorResult

 

The link is a calculator used to calculate the tax you have to pay to get plates on the car:)

thank you for your reply, we are going to call the customs office and find out if we get any kind of tax break as we have lived outside of norway for so manay years:-)

Sorry - no tax break. There used to be an exemption for norwegians moving back home, but unfortunately this was removed quite a few years ago.

Are you sure about this? How many years?

sorry about the delay in replying, our internet has been down.

 

Thank you all for your replies, now i just have to decide wether i should bring this car into norway or just buy another one when we get there..

 

what are the ruöes on bringing a trailer with us?

do we have to pay import tax & registering with that too?

[Dr_S]

Yes, you do. If you are talking about a caravan?

thanx for the reply,

 

its not a caravan we are going to bring in but a normal car trailer for transporting stuff (tilhenger?)

 

the reason i`m asking is that we want to transport our stuff to Bergen, then sell the trailer as soon as we arrive, we need to know if its worth buying a new or a used one.

 

sort of like this:
