Filing a tax return
You always need to file a declaration (or have this done) to import goods. You must do this even if you have been issued with one of the exemption licences listed below. The licence only ensures that you do not pay any import duties. There are 4 different licences for import duty exemptions. These are:
- Exemption for removal goods
- Exemption for removal goods for students
- Exemption for marital goods
- Exemption for inherited goods
Always have a tax return filed
You cannot file a tax return independently. The import declaration and the procedure to follow takes place via Customs' electronic declaration system. Your removal company is obliged to assist you with this.
Please note!
With the import declaration your removal company must also submit:
- (commercial) documents such as invoices, receipts, and so on
- the inventory list of all goods for which you are applying for an exemption from import duties
