How long for vehicle in EU?

[ianp]

So how long can a UK registered vehicle and / or personal goods ie cycles etc be within the Schengen area before they become liable for EU import tax?

6 months.

6 months.

so no use for EU storage anymore than?

It been 6 months for years and never stopped folk keeping their MoHo in storage
its just they may start enforcing things now we're out

and I take it that to 'reset' the 6 month clock the vehicle needs to leave the Schengen area for no matter how short a time period?

I may be wrong on this, but I thought the rules about re-registering are national country rules not EU-ones. If it is an EU rule can somebody cite it please, as I have an interest.

If national, cannot one have the vehicle in one country for less than 6 months and then move it to another for the same?

Of course a non-Schengen resident driver would be subject to the 90 in 180 day rule but not the vehicle.

For this discussion we do not need to go into the law in some countries(e.g. Spain) which prevents a 'Resident' driving a foreign registered vehicle.

That link confirms that as I thought above(post#7) it is down to National Laws not EU.
