Information for overseas students on bringing their property into the UK.
Normally someone coming into the country may be liable to taxes on goods they bring in however there are reliefs available for students and their personal possessions. By following these rules you may avoid paying these taxes.Hazel's comment:
The emphasis in the above quote is mine but please, read the NOTE in full and realise that this was published on the website of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs. How many students coming into this country from overseas are going to read the website of the HMRC? Was it published elsewhere? I can't hand on heart say "no" because until you've read the book from cover to cover without finding the answer then you don't know what's in it – and if you think I'm going to try to read the Internet from end to end think again!
OK, that's me being flippant about information retrieval, but I do sometimes despair about government departments and their publication policy.
Ignorance of the law is no defence in law.
