Hello Everyone, So it seems there might be a hiccup.
The taxman in Lesotho (LRA) is trying to clamp down on Fraudulent importers, tax on vehicles going to Lesotho will now be calculated on vehicle value instead of purchase price.
Some importers buy vehicles and the they ask the seller to send an invoice with a much lower purchase price on the invoice, in order to pay less tax at clearing stations on the borders.
My clearing and import agent was very truthful and said, there is nothing he can do about the (LRA) Decision and that on my import and clearing documents nothing has changed so far.
The Clearance documentation was only delivered to Durban port yesterday for clearance before car can be offloaded.
once Durban agent is done with the process they will send the documents to Lesotho, then we will know what is the ruling on the Tax amount.
I've already paid my clearing agent R 11 288 for tax in Lesotho, my agent said that corresponds to the value and purchase price of the vehicle.
Ill keep you peeps updated.
Have an awesome day.
