"Documentation" specific
legal meaning here in the US, and is only for citizens.
And yes, as already been answered.
This tax / registration issue is not an important one relative to all the other factors in deciding what boat to buy.
Find the boat first, then you need to
research the sales tax situation in the specific location where the boat you want to buy is located.
And then, as a completely separate issue, decide where you want to register it. This can be done ahead of time, and regardless of where you end up
buying the boat.
And then you can sail where you like.
What the UK wants from you has nothing to do with the above, but **I think** only applies if you want to bring the boat there.
