That''s interesting to know. The VAT tax on European boats are often included in the asking price? And selling to , say me... an America, for the purpose of taking it home means I do not have to pay the tax or more importantly the seller DOESN''T have to pay the tax? That means a great deal for a buyer and seller if that is true. Anyone know what the VAT tax amounts to? How is it figured so I can subtract that from the asking prices when looking over ADs?

Lastly, I got the duty tax down, thanks for all the contributors. But how about our countries(USA) normal property tax. Are boats taxed yearly based on thier value like homes/real estate? How much? Or if not, is it because they are for pleasure and not a home? If you live on your boat does the tax status change?

Thanks
