RE: [doc] re BTI and court case

["James Macpherson" <james.macpherson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think BTI are valid for 1yr(or x period of time I can't remember how
long).  From the article in the mag I think Phillip already had a BTI
accepted under the 5% duty bracket in advance.  

But the rules changed when his car was on the ship, because he already
had a valid BTI they accepted his situation and let him pay the original
5%.

He didn't apply for a BTI after yours he already had one.

I wouldn't take it to far with C&E because I don't want them chasing me
for back tax, I think Martin said they can claim upto 3yrs after so
don't push them.

The fact is that it was originally a mistake the cars should never have
been given the historic interest bracket, some people where lucky to get
there cars through using this loop hole but now it has been closed.

I agree with Chris anyone wanting to buy now should buy in UK unless
they want to pay more than 27.5% in duty/VAT.

Hi Al

i am looking for information, particularly from Phillip Wright

i imported my car last sept and got stung for the new BTI 10%+17.5% - 
ouch

i appealed and lost, and then appealed to a tribunal.

i am scheduled for appeal court in MAY.

my question is, when was this last BTI issued for the 5% duty?

Would it be possible to beg a photocopy as i need to present evidence 
to the judge and solicitors.

my case is one or two angles - how can a car be re-assessed and given 
a different BTI code when no more models have been produced and no 
further information given since the original assessment ie did they 
make a mistake originally and was some of their staff negligent?.

if my car was imported September and cars later than this had the 5% 
BTI then surely my car should be subject to 5% duty.

i don't expect to win against customs, but wanted to take my case as 
far as possible as i firmly believe our cars are historic and an 
important part of motoring history and should be treated by customs as 
so.

thanx for any help

regardfs

Steve
