Duties and Taxes When Moving to the UK
Understanding UK customs regulations is key to a smooth relocation. If you’re moving to the UK on a work visa or as a returning citizen, your personal belongings may be exempt from VAT if they’ve been owned for over 12 months. However, certain items may incur duties, so it’s essential to stay informed. Our relocation experts will ensure you’re fully prepared for any customs-related issues during your move to the UK.
