Yacht Importation Services

We have considerable experience in the importation of yachts and the formation and management of the appropriate corporate structures.

Our Yacht Importation service includes:
·       Ensuring that the yacht is registered in an appropriate Flag State
·       Liaising with Flag State and Classification Society as appropriate
·       Setting up a tax efficient structure to own the yacht. Or use the existing yacht owning structure if appropriate
·       Registering the structure for VAT purposes
·       Importation the yacht through an appropriate country – e.g. France, Malta or Isle of Man – where the EU importation documents will be issued
·       Once the process is complete, VAT is accounted for and reclaimed
