I figured for the price I pay, it wont matter so much that I have to pay the taxes. I'll be a good boy and do it properly!
Friendly tip for you Dirk: Classic cars can be imported for free in Norway, and new law from 2019 considers 20 years as classic! Good market for young timers!
I'd like to keep in touch Dirk, (Don't worry, nothing romantic) in case you ever come across used Montreal parts. Sometimes that happens by coincident.

There is indeed very much work to be done! I expect 1 year storage (Workshop under progress) and 2 years of work before getting it on the road. And I do not think I will drive it in Poland.
The sills must be replaced. But aside from that there is actually no rust on the chassi! Engine is toast, but I have a new engine.
I have budgeted 25k EURfor the restoration, and I hope that it should be sufficient. I do not know what concourse paintjobs cost in Poland, but I already have an offer to have it done in Las Palmas for a very decent price.
I will contact the companies you recomended for me

Yes, The RS4was mostly destroyed by the time I sold it. The suspensin could not take it.
About the Alfa, Its a barnfind that has been out of circulation for a long time. So as far as I understand, All I need to pay is import duties( a few hundred EUR. (I got it CHEAP)). Nothing else untill it is time for registration. Registration will not be in Poland. Not by me at least.

So there are no tax reduction for classic vehicles?
I brought an RS4 when I moved here. But the process was different because I had already owned the car for several years.

@ Dirk Diggler: Thanks. Honestly I doubted that I would find someone with experience here. Do you by any chance live near Bialystok? (I live, and settled here)
I have not bought the car yet. It is located on "Tax Free" Las Palmas. I have informed the seller that he will get my decission today 13.02.2019. I am 90% decided. We have been in contact for about a year, so as for the technical, I have gotten some idea of what Im getting into.
What I havent figured out yet is if I need to pay tax when bringing it to mainland, or bringing it to Poland. As it will be sold again outside of Poland, Im not to keen on paying a lot of import duties.
I used to live in Spain, and therefor I have the Spanish NIE number still. It could be an idea to bring it to Poland on Spanish plates, and keep it like that. However, I do not know how legal that is.

Hi, I have almost bought an Alfa Romeo Montreal. Awesome thing!
However, I do not find much information about import of classic cars to Poland.
Is it taxable? (Some Countrues have no tax on car older than 20/25/30 year)
Any input from you smart people would be appresiated!
Some key words:
- Spanish registration (I do also have Spanish residens card, and could possibly transfer the spanish registration to my name)
- The car is a "Project" and does not run. I expect 3-4years of work before getting it on the road
- Plan to sell the car when its finished,and it doesnt seem to be a big market in Poland for these cars. Meaning; it will be probably have to be exported agan.

Real Estate / Numer księgi wieczystej after purchasing a plot of land in Poland [3]
Right now I must agree if anyone thinks I'm an idiot.... After purchasing a plot of land, I received a letter with important information. This letter also had the Numer księgi wieczystej. Obviously, I lost it. Probably dropped it to a garbage bin.
I am currently abroad, the misses at home is very angry because we need that number ASAP. We aren't married, and she doesn't have power of attorney..
Question: are the anything I can do to fint that number online? Or somehow recover it while I am abroad? (Numer księgi wieczystej)
I really hope someone here can help me out!

Law / Questions regarding bringing my (Spanish) car to Poland [19]
We went to the customs office in the city, and we got all necessary paperwork there. Then, later, I had to come back and deliver the papers, and I was "interrogated" by an officer and informed about the laws regarding the upcoming years ownership.
So, to answer your question; Its probably best that you visit the "border office" "custom office" in person.

Law / Questions regarding bringing my (Spanish) car to Poland [19]
Elmorek, Im not sure if these are good advices or not.. But might be worth reading
My car is now on Polish registration plates. In the aftermath, I did this the wrong way. And due to the Polish bureaucracy, or laws, or what I can call it, - my car is not a 2006 model, and not a 2008. The reason is that the car was produced in 2006. In Spain, and the rest of Europe it would be recognized as a 2008 model, because of the the first registration date was in 2008.
- When you go for the technical checkup, take your time and make sure the papers and numbers are right. Your cars 1st registration date AND year of production must be in writing on the documents.
At the customs, you will have to lower the value of your car. My car has a market value 30000EUR. - Spanish insurance companies recognize 27500eur as the cars value. However, you should check with an insurance company in Poland. The insurance companies in Poland say my car is worth 50000zl (11000 eur) That is a massive difference, and that is the value (given by Polish insurance company) you should use on the import documents. It will save you some cash, IF they somehow decide to claim this from you.
As per today, I haven't paid any import tax. However, the custom officers were clear. If anyone, including wife, is caught driving my car, I will have to pay 18% import tax and a fine.
You may have to pay a import tax if you haven't owned the car for 2 years. However, at the traffic office it seemed like they looked between the fingers on that subject. As I understood from the translation, the officer said that it was not that important.
If you leave the Spanish plates in Spain, make sure you have all the correct documents in your car when you drive
If you drive with the Spanish plates, also, make sure you have ALL required documents!
I was stopped three times by the Polizei, and they check everything. And you are a thief until proved otherwise.

Law / Questions regarding bringing my (Spanish) car to Poland [19]
To answer my own question..
First of all. I left Spain and Poland is now my home. This is the reason why i also want my car imported and registered in Poland.
When I left Spain I arranged with a "gestor" to take care of the exportation from Spain. The plan was to drive the car to Poland, and send the cars documents to the "gestor" so he could do the exportation.
When I came to Poland I first visited the custom office, and then two different offices from the Polish traffic department.
At the custom office I was informed that I do NOT need to pay any for of tax, nor VAT or excise that was mentioned here by wawa marek. The reason why I do not have to pay (As I understand) is that I already owned the car for 2 years, and I wont be able to sell the car for the coming year. In addition, I am not allowed to lend the car to anyone. I have to be the only driver.
So, the only fees I need to pay is those directly related to registration. which (again, as i understand it) should be approx 113 EUR. + plus a technical control of the vehicle.
At the traffic department I was informed that the preparations I did in Spain was unnecessary, as the Polish traffic department would do the Spanish exportation for me! The only reason I had to let the "gestor" do it, would be for my own practical reasons, as Spain CAN claim road tax if the car is not exported before Dec 31st. (I easily avoid the by canceling my Spanish bank account, and bet that car is exported before that start the manhunt)
At the moment the car is still on Spanish registration plates. And I will keep it this way, until mid January.
My project now is to find a insurance company that is willing to insure my car for a reasonable price. In Spain, DT the reputation of the car, many insurance companies did not want to touch it.

If I brought the car from a non-EU country, then VAT has to be paid. Within EU, this should not be an issue. However, still as I understand, some countries has different rules. Poland might be one of them, as far as I know. Because of all the articles I read so far, VAT has been mentioned. Also I read something about extra fee for engine size and so on...

Merged: Moving to Poland - Bringing my car (Expensive?)
I'm Daniel. New to this forum.
I already read through what I could find here about the subject of importing a car to Poland. However...
I live in Barcelona at the moment. Together with my girlfriend I am soon moving to Poland, and I will bring my car. An Audi RS4 B7. The cars value is approx 30000 EUR. So my question is; do I need to pay VAT? What do I need to do and pay when entering Poland?
