Old thread.... one more question...
Let´s say i found a nice
boat in EU waters. As i am EU citizen, with EU resident, i would have to pay the VAT of the country the
boat is berthed and i am
purchasing it, in case the boat is not VAT payed (like most of the cats in the
med, as they come out of charter).
Let´s say i found a nice Yacht in
Greece for 300.000 US$. VAT there would be 24%. So 72.000 US$ for Mr. Alexis Tsipras and his socialists party... Ups...
Now... my many year long partner (girlfriend, wife or whatever) is citizen and have resident outside EU wonderland. Wouldnt it just be the most easy way to have
her buy me my boat, register it under her name and flag it in her (outside EU wonderland) country?
Anything wrong with that?
Thanks!
John
