Transfer of Residence checker

Transfer of Residence relief can take the duty and VAT off your car. Put in three dates and two answers and we'll check them against HMRC's published rules.

Roughly is fine. Your first day living abroad, in Singapore or before it.
The date it became yours, from the purchase paperwork.
Is Singapore your main home, not a second or holiday home?
Is the car for your own private use?

Fill in the three dates to see where you stand.

A pre-check, not a ruling. HMRC decides every application, and the evidence you send with your ToR1 matters as much as the dates. The ToR1 on GOV.UK.

Apply before it ships

HMRC has to approve your ToR1 before you claim the relief, so get it in before the car is collected. The approval number is what our customs team needs.

Keep the evidence

Proof you lived in Singapore, proof you're moving here, and proof you've had the car. The documents checklist lists everything.

If you do not qualify

It can still be worth bringing. The calculator shows the duty and VAT at the standard rates.

Start your import with ToR relief

Send us the car and your moving date. We'll quote it with the ToR in mind and tell you when to apply.
