   GT Group Offshore Car Registration:                                                                       Back

The concept of tax free Offshore Car Registration is becoming increasingly popular among residents of European Countries where it is legal to drive a vehicle which is registered in another Country. There are many reasons why people may choose to register their car offshore, often it is due to the vehicle that they are importing, being unable to comply with local vehicle requirements for registration, despite the vehicle being in safe working condition and with minimal engine emissions. Regulations in some countries require expensive compliance testing on all imported vehicles, and even more costly in other jurisdictions are the VAT Taxes or Import Duties due on imported vehicles upon first registration. Whatever the situation, there may be a easy way to avoid all the unnecessary time and money wasted, just to drive the vehicle of your choice! tax 

Far away from the over regulated Continent of Europe, is a tiny island nation in the South Pacific Ocean know as Vanuatu. This Independent Republic was called New Hebrides when it was an Anglo-French Condominium, then changed its name when independence was achieved in 1980. Just North of New Zealand and East of Queensland, Australia, Vanuatu is a tropical nation with a predominantly Melanesian population of around 200,000, which is spread through the volcanic chain of islands fringed by coral reefs and rich blue ocean. So how is this idyllic, untouched paradise going to help you? Already an established provider of Tax-free International Companies, Vanuatu also offers European clients the ability to register their vehicle under the local Vehicle Registry.

Vanuatu Vehicle Registration is possible for most types of passenger vehicles, including small trucks and motorcycles. Requirements are very simple and vehicles may be registered under your personal name, or the name of a Company. The process is taken care of by GT Group Limited and the following list is all that we require from you:

  • Invoice for the Vehicle (copy accepted)

  • Registration Certificate, if previously Registered (copy accepted)

  • Proof of 3rd Party Insurance (copy accepted)

  • Road Worthiness Certificate or mechanics letter (copy accepted)

  • Colour Photo of Vehicle

  • Colour Photo of Owner

  • Copy of Owner’s Drivers License

  • Copy of Owner’s Passport

Once the registration is complete, you will receive by courier, a Registration Book, a Registration window label, and two Vanuatu License Plates. The plates are unique and will be the talk of many who spot them.

In most European Jurisdictions, you will need to cross an international Boarder at least 4 times per year to comply with regulations pertaining to foreign registered vehicles.

Vanuatu vehicles are registered from year to year, so it is best to register a Vehicle in January, as the window label that is provided will only cover the year in which the vehicle is registered. Annual fees are similar to what you would expect to pay for a locally registered vehicle, but there are no Road User Charges or any other Taxes payable.

Although Vanuatu registration plates are restricted to numbers only, you can request personalized plates for a small additional cost. As the Vanuatu registry is very small with only thousands of vehicles having been registered here, you may obtain a registration plate that would be popular or extremely expensive in your country. You may also have special wording placed above the number to meet your specific needs or to introduce your special number.
