| Hi David, and those interested in the Kremen props,
| The price paid was 2660 Euros, plus VAT., which they asking for at 19% at
| the moment.
| They accepted 266 E's with order, balance to be paid before delivery. That
| was before the prior payment of VAT question came up.
| I ordered it a month ago, and it is now ready for despatch.
| It looks good, and because of the interest I will advise how things go
from
| here. I will need to find room for another 2.5 inch diameter site on my
| panel in a handy finger position though.
| Naturally Francis D is requiring an installation inspection, together with
a
| new weight and balance check and a flight test. He has advised me that he
| wont be available untill late Sept so it will not be flying till then
| Best regards. Bryan Allsop
Bryan,
Am also interested in the Kremen (WoodComp) design, after David
Joyce's description. However, In spite of having paid it in Uk before, I am
curious about your comments regarding VAT. I understood it to mean
Value-Added Tax, the tax on the value added by the previous
builder/provider.
Is this a tax upon your propeller by UK authorities or Czech? If
the latter why are you paying Cz VAT if taking same from the country. If UK
VAT, why is it so high - just because they can? I thought UK VAT was 17%
highest, but could be wrong (happened before - once). I spose you are adding
value to your personal holdings is the excuse. Here they just take it
because everybody else does.
Cheers, Ferg
