Hi,

I need to register my Range Rover in Spain.

In order to do so, one of the things I need is proof of the cost of the car when it was new (preferably with a çost breakdown, i.e. how much was the car tax, and/or VAT.

Does anybody have an invoice for their car for that period?

I'd appreciate a copy if possible, obviously of a similar car:

1996 Range Rover P38 2.5 diesel automatic (HSE) (BMW engine).

In addition, I have just successfully completed a Brookwell 'spring conversion' - If anyone is contemplating this, contact me if you want info, AND for REAL (not according to the book), details about getting rid of 'Code Key Lockout' messages after replacing the battery - honestly, there is so much nonesense written about this subject, it's unreal!

If you have the prices, make your own invoice. They are not too fussy I think, they certainly aren't in France.

and I have to pay 12% 505.20euros hope this helps if I can help any more P M me

My maths works out 12% at 5040:eek::eek::eek:
 
Hi Eldescans - and others offering help (thanks).

I guess the 12% relates to the fact your car is not yet over 10 years old - My understanding is that anything over 10 years is at 10% - BUT 10% of what?

As has already been indicated, 12% doesn't related to 42,000 euros, and the price you've been quoted (would be more than 5000 euros)?

As to 1998 prices - thanks, but as the 1998 price would obviously not be LESS than the 1996 price, if I quoted them, it would cost me more, so thanks, but no thanks.

As to the 'french not caring' - yes, also my impression. However, the Spanish are not the french - not only do they care, if you blink, they will add a zero - you have to check everything!

Regards,

Hi Rafe my car is a 1996 2.5 DSE and I was told that the 2 figures are 12% and 14% but I was not told what year it changes if you look at my previous reply you will see that the figure was 42100 x12% 505.20
 
Hi Eldescans,

I guess that some of this confusion relates to the fact that e 505.20 is actually 1.2% of 42000, rather than 12%.

The other bit is that I'm sure I've read that the charge is based on the Spanish car tax, depreciating at a rate related to the age of the car, until it reaches 10 years, whereupon the tax applied is equal to 10%.

I'll look it up again - but I suspect they'll charge 12% if they can get away with it (normal).

Regards,

Rafe
 
Ah, a light just clicked on!

12% of the new car price must represent the ORIGINAL car tax when the new price was e 42000, thus:

e 42000 / 12% = e 5052.00

Then if we apply a reduction due to the car's age (over 10 years = 10%), the ACTUAL present charge = e 505.20.

That makes sense (in a Spanish sort of way).

Of course, it goes against the grain of Éuropeanism - but that just makes it even more Spanish, doesn't it!

(I think we've got it, by george we've got it!).

Regards,

Rafe
 
EU law say's you can take your goods and chattels with you as you move around the EU. By rights it should cost you no more than the registration fee. I had a house in Spain for 8 years, not a good experience.
