Once you have imported the vehicle and paid the registration tax, then you can do what you want with the vehicle.

Hi guys,

sorry can I ask you something? guys i had a car here in the UK for 4 months I am planning to move to Malta and taking the car with me. Would you happen to know how much the import tax is?

Regards

Simone

Hi Simone,

My post might help  - it has a link that'll let you discover the Registration Tax

Hi Terry
Your post is really helpful! We're planning to move over in September but won't have had the car 2 years until the beginning of December so I may have to delay getting it over here.

Don't delay bringing the vehicle over too long as you may fall foul of the 30 day rule.

"Any person transferring his/her residence from a place outside Malta to a place in Malta is entitled, under the Motor Vehicles Registration
and Licensing Act (Cap. 368), to an exemption from Motor Vehicle Registration Tax on an M1 vehicle (a vehicle used for the carriage of not
more than eight passengers in addition to the driver) or a cycle (motor cycles, motor tricycles and quadricycles) which has been registered in
the name of that person for a continuous period of at least twenty-four months immediately before the date of his/her transfer of residence to Malta
and is still so registered when the vehicle is imported or brought into Malta. That person should also have lived outside Malta for a continuous
period of at least twenty-four months immediately before transferring his/her residence to Malta."

"A vehicle that has already arrived in Malta, the application has to be made by the person transferring his residence within 30 days from the date on which that person had transferred his residence to Malta.
A vehicle that has not yet arrived in Malta, the application for exemption is to be made within 30 days from the arrival of the vehicle in Malta."

They certainly like to keep you on your toes with all of this. I'll have to look into what the registration tax is too, just so we're prepared. My hubby may come over with our oldest (so he doesn't miss the start of school in September as he's 13) while I pack up & sort everything else here with the younger two (4yrs & 8 months). Having this information may actually have helped us with some of our decision making - which is a bit chaotic right now, seeing my hubby is working in Libya & I'm in the UK!
Thanks for the heads up on this - I really appreciate the help I'm getting from this forum - your wealth of knowledge is invaluable Terry!

Thank you Terry.
