St. Vincent & the Grenadines Vehicle Duty, VAT, Excise & Age Surcharge
St. Vincent and the Grenadines Customs publishes one of the clearest vehicle-tax systems in the region. Taxes depend on vehicle type, fuel, engine size, seating/use and age, and Customs provides an official vehicle-duty calculator.
Published Vehicle Taxes
- Import Duty: depending on category, published rates range from 0% to 35%.
- Import VAT: 15%.
- Excise Tax: published vehicle rates range from 35% to 60% depending on classification.
- An environmental/vehicle surcharge applies to older vehicles.
Age Rule That Matters
- Vehicles over 4 years attract an age-related environmental/vehicle surcharge.
- Customs states that the surcharge rises sharply after 8 years and advises importers to avoid vehicles over eight years old.
- The age is calculated from the year of manufacture, not merely the model year shown on a sales listing.
