Hi all,

Around 18 months ago I imported a car from the UK and registered it here on the Island, paid the import tax and fees etc. This car is now going to be exported off the island - does anyone know if I am able to reclaim back any of the import taxes that were paid?

Cheers

Its not an import tax but a registration tax and no you cannot claim it back.
