RE: [doc] FW: re membership update and information

["Kevin Milliken" <kevin.milliken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris

My comments would be as follows

1/    I would ask Customs to confirm in writing what I assume was a verbal
decision.
2/    I would ask them to then how many are being imported
3/    The quantity of a particular vehicle being imported should make no
difference
4/    The car is either a Historic Car or not
5/    Who has has made the decision that it is not a historic car
6/    On what grounds was the decision made
7/    Where and when was the information published
9/    Was the industry / owners clubs advised
10/   To who should an appeal be made
11/   Does this apply to any marques if so what marques


I am not impressed with the way customs have apparently made what would seem
to see be an arbitrary decision.

If anyone proposes visit to the customs office where the decision is made
please let me know and I will put my 4 pennyworth in.

p.s. are the Government trying to recoup some of the investment they put
into DMC - Surely Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Dear Chris

  SNIP>>>>

  My Membership Number ....

  I have just imported a DMC 12 to the UK, Vin number SCEDT26T3BD0**** in
  need of restoration which i will be starting when it arrives, in a day
  or so.

  I have a question though that i hoped you may be able to help. I have
  applied for a binding tariff information number as a historic car code
  970500 00 00 which HM customs have rejected saying that they are getting
  one a week and hence do not now regard as a historic car, and hence are
  forcing me to pay %10 duty and 17.5 vat (obviously a fair sum of
  money!).

  i will appeal but do not expect much joy. I wondered if you knew of any
  members which have also had applications rejected?.

  i filled in the document as per the instructions on the owners club
  site, with Martin Gutkowski's car as an example. They say they have
  changed its classification since June/July this year.

  If you have any suggestions for my appeal they will be gratefully
  received as the money destined for vin **** restoration will now line
  the VAT mans pockets.

  Thankyou for this and i hope to make it to Birmingham next month,
  perhaps looking for lots of tech tips!!.

  Regards
