walker600 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hey, i'm not too sure the best place to put this post so i'll start here and if a 'mod' see's fit to move it then so be it. I want to buy a second hand outboard engine, there's very little information in the internet about engines that are already within thailand, does anyone have any recommendation on where to find them in Phuket. If not, does anyone know the current rules regarding importing something like that into the LOS. re: Import tax, V.A.T etc.. etc.. Many Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagallim Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm pretty sure that there is no import tax on on marine engines (there is definitely not on boats c/w engines), though you would have to pay VAT. A good source for information would be the trailer boat showroom a few Km's north of Heroines Roundabout (going towards Thalang) on the left hand side. I know the English guy in there has helped people get boat outboards before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikecwm Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm looking at importing a used Macgregor 26ft sailboat. These usually have a 50 or 60 hp outboard. I see there is no import duty on the boat - just 7%VAT. Anyone know what the custom's duty on the outboard will be? I've several references to outboards being taxed, but no specific % yet.
