Hi All

 

I am buying a Speedmax, and will be in France to pick it up, "Business trip" and was wondering if anyone would know if you can claim the VAT back before returning to SA at the airport.

 

if anyone has done this please let me know

 

Thanks

You have to specifically ask canyon to send you a VAT receipt when ordering, they won't send it after.

While all you guys are wondering about doors and floors, we should be asking how a dude in drought stricken Somerset has kept his lawn so green...

I have a river :P

It's over and green now, I drove past last weekend.....

Past my house, or past the Western Cape?

Stunning! Much much sexier than a Storck!

Nothing wrong with a Storck. Storck riders on the other hand...

If that’s “a river” then I’m Dirk Diggler.

I'm just going on the Winston Churchill scale of river classification here. If he can describe the Apies river in Pretoria as "mighty", then I can call our irrigation canal a river!

 

And now I have so many Dirk Diggler related questions!

Has anyone bought a bike off the Canyon website for shipping to S.A...What has the experience been like and what were the "hidden" costs when it lands in S.A....Were there any additional costs associated with what is quoted on the Canyon website....?

 

Many Thanks.

Hi, have a read here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/gear/reviews/unboxing-canyon-aeroad-cf-slx-r7401

 

Regarding duty I received some info from UPS last week:

- Please note that vat is calculated as follow customs value x 10% + customs value x 15 %
- Example 100.00 customs value x 10% = 110 x 15% =  16.50 plus 15 % of the customs duty.
- No VAT and duty on shipping costs.

I ordered the new Lux in July with an expected delivery of October. I got an email last week saying it has been delayed to November...

 

I wonder if any of the new Luxs are in SA yet? Does anyone know of any?

So...If I'm understanding your message correctly, then its (R100.00 X 10%) + (R100.00 X 15%). That together will give total customs and VAT charges....Correct...?
