Importing a glider to Australia
Am thinking of shipping my glider to OZ as I am planning
to relocate there(again) next year. Can anyone update me on the current situation regarding tax/duties when entering Australia? Howard |

Howard Are you planning on moving here permanantly or just bringing the glider for the summer? Last I brought in a glider there were no import duties.We do have a form of Value Added Tax (called GST - Goods and Services Tax). If only bringing a glider for the summer you may need to post a bond. If moving permanently you may get an exemption for personal items like gliders that you already own. Mike Borgelt |

Graeme Cant opines: 'You may be able to claim an exemption if it was woven by indigenous natives from local materials in a developing country (including the trailer). GC' ' Importing a glider to Australia' at rec.aviation.soaring. In reply: Dear Graeme, Excellent research. Important to see it that way. Insights are joys to consider and to have benefit therefrom. Surely then, that would include Slovenia built Discus and DG 300- 303 and similar Slovenian gliders etc, right ? It is all the Product made by Indigenous Natives (so let magistrate's advocate prove they are not, as one offers photographs into evidence) Asserting workers and business product is from Neanderthallian and CroMagnonallian Indigenous Roots with historic admixture salting in genetic stock from Roman Rule, Mongolian Mavarics of Attilla the Hun and GhenghisKhan, Germanic Hanseatics, Slavic Slaves, Terribulus Tartar, Turkic Transgressors, Surrepticious Scythians, Persian Perpetrators, Olephantian Africani, Gracious Greeks, Froggy Franks, Filial Phonecians and such in due course to War Actions and adventurings over the march of time. Thereby, one may clearly offer argument before the tax magistrate and in Revenue Court. Yes indeed, indigenous workers, woven cloth, local resinous materials, developing country et al . Truly, it fits. All by the Grace of God. Documented. With historical evidences by archeological, anthropological, archeo-geopolitical and linguistic literature to be called into support. The lesser the better, as it may be contradictory, with invective, being of academic origin. Yet, It may be argument acceptable within the the matrix of good and clear common tax law and kind and just administration thereof, as may be expected and whose benefits the world has enjoyed immensely since tax collection first began. Have fun Graeme. Always wishing yall Down Under the very best. Dancing on clouds, Keep it up! Jim Culp USA GatorCity Florida |

I immigrated to Australia one year ago and did not have
to pay any GST for my ASW-27 which was declared as part of my household and which I own since 1998. I don't know how long you have to own the glider to be able to get it GST free into Australia. 4 years in my case for sure worked. Gerry Brasher might know more about it.
