Scooterotica

according to the dvla office i need an import duty tax certificate thing, basially so they know it doesnt have any outstanding tax, but id ont have any proof of this i have a form(c384) but some of the details i cant fill out because i didnt import it, it was imported by the previous owner, any ideas what i can do

any help is muchly appreciated

I had a similar problem with an Indian Lambretta. I waited a week, went back to office, saw a different clerk and when they asked if I'd imported it I said "No, I bought it from a bloke in Birmingham." They gave me a number there and then.

The may have tightened the rules since then though.

they asked if i had imported and i said no i bought it from a bloke round the corner from me and they said i need to fill out a c384 form

I registered a scooter last week I have them a receipt from the guy I brought from to prove that I hadn't imported the scooter .i also gave them a letter I had from customs stating they had no interest in the scooter and duty had been paid .you need to write to customs and excise giving then the frame number and they should supply a letter that you can take to dvla. I did mine at Peterborough no problem but had to have inspection.

well instead o just taking the letters tot hem i have just posted them by special delivery and i will just have to wait and see what happens thanks for your help guys

let us know how you get on as i've got a French LD and very little documentation.........bought it from a "bloke round the corner" in "Birmingham" !!!!

Couldnt you say you imported it from italy? (no import tax from within eu?) there were/are indian gp's in italy, i think

got a letter from the dvla today with an appointment so it would appear i dont need to show that the imprt tax has been paid

thats cool mark when you taking it

wednesday dinner time hopefully all will be fine
