Paphos People

Hi can anyone answer this, I have a Renault car, 1 year old, I live in the UK but have a house in Cyprus, I was thinking to take the car to Cyprus but I asked customs at Paphos and they said as I was a UK resident I would have to pay about 5000 Euro duty plus registration plus a tax on emissions but my Cypriot friend tells me that I should only pay about 150 Euro.

Have I been given incorrect advice?

Many thanks.

which will answer your main question re 'excise duty'

We used Andrews to ship our car and ANW motors to do the paperwork

Would endorse contacting ANW in Tremithousa, they imparted a wealth of information to us when we were considering shipping a car to Cyprus. They can deal with the whole process on your behalf, should you choose.
They also have cars to sell!

Many thanks for your reply's they have been a great help, I have worked out my duty and contacted ANW cars for a quote.

Thank you.

So, who was right?
The customs or the Cypriot friend?

Good question,

and the answer is both, the Duty is 2750 Euro but with mot, tax, number plates and delivery to Cyprus it is 5000Euro.
