(Re Woodburners )Are CO detectors widely available and mandatory as in the UK? I reckon we all should have them. Not seen them locally.

Just wondering how feasible it is to buy a container and fill it with stuff in the UK and ship it out to Puglia? I rather thought I could use it as a workshop / store afterwards...but is it a runner??

I wondered if anyone could explain how to calculate the car tax in Italy, I know it is to do with horse power etc but is there a useful website like our own DVL site which can allow one to find out how much tax is paid on say....

Yes, just how does reciprocity pan out in practise? Couldn't help but notice there is a financial web guru called 'Penny Wise" no relation I suppose?
Yep, but here is an interesying link- scan through http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/offshorefinance/52794...
Q &A from HMRC..
Q. What happens if I go abroad?
A. You can only open an ISA if you are resident and ordinarily resident in the UK for tax purposes (ask your Inland Revenue office if you are in any doubt about this).Crown employees, such as diplomats or members of the armed forces, who are working overseas and paid by the Government are eligible to open an ISA. Their spouses or civil partners can also open an ISA.If you start an ISA in the UK and then go abroad, you cannot continue putting money into the ISA (unless you are a Crown employee working overseas or the spouse or civil partner of a Crown employee working overseas). However, you can keep your ISA and you will still get tax relief on investments held in the ISA. When you return, you can start putting money in again (subject to the normal annual limits).
Ciao Penny,I gather you can leave your dosh in the ISA even if you are resident in Italy, however you cannot add to the ISA. So it's stuff in as much as you can before you leave Blighty I suppose!!
Ouch! We were planning to do the same as you when we relocate, sounds like we need to rethink.Could it be that an existing ISA is not a tax free savings vehicle? We never considered ourselves wealthy enough to have tax worries!Any advice gratefully received....
Yep, I'd keep quiet about your car tax, it seems you're getting a good deal for some reason, try 126kw into the ready reckoner and you'll se what I mean. Not sure what they mean about the "EU classification" and how that relates to the UK car tax categories but there are variations in tax paid from region to region here in Italy. Thinking about buying a car and the UK seems a lot cheaper than Italy but the transfer process looks like a real drag... no rush however. Now, concerning UK car tax dodgers..mostly they will be driving with no MOT or insurance (or license) either hence the draconian penalties I suppose. Billy
I just popped a fiat panda diesel into the ready reckoner and came up with a tax bill lof 180 euros. (Puglia) Curiouser and curiouser...
OOOH how does that work? What horsepower is a 2.5 litre diesel Nissan Navarra? Got to more than the ford focus TDCi surely?is the fact it is a pick-up significant?Is it classified as an 'agricultural vehicle" and therefore qualifies for a lower rate?Please advise, I may buy a Hummer pickup in that case!!
Well done Penny..I gave it a try - expensive, quite a lot more than the UK . Berlusconi has his fingers deeper in your wallet than Gordon Brown. Seriously though Italian drivers have for a long time had the smallest carbon footprint in the EU - largley due to high fuel prices (remember the tourist petrol vouchers of 20 odd years ago) and high car taxes. Shame, as I quite fancied a slightly bigger motor. Ah well the budget says we'll be running an Ape....or maybe a Piaggo trike!!
TOR FX or interchange fx seem to work well
