Hello to all;
I've been thinking about doing another hunt in Africa. I hunted in SA back in 2014, and if I remember correctly, I didn't have to pay VAT on my trophies because I had them taxidermied (is that even a word?) and shipped to my home. The cost of that was almost as much as the safari, and I dont want to pay that again.
If I go again, I don't plan on bringing any of the trophies home...........photos will suffice this time around. I'm getting older and we plan on downsizing our home, so there will be little room for trophies (actually, some of what I have will probably have to go). I've thought about just doing a cull hunt, or something similar, so someone how whats a great trophy can take it back home with them.
So..........my question is: how much would I save if I just payed the VAT on trophies as opposed to having something like a skull mount or flat skin done? Do they usually charge VAT for cull hunts? IIRC, the VAT was around 15%; is that still the case? or has it changed.
Thanks in advance...................................
 
Hi sir

Cull hunts or any animal where only pics are taken and nothing is getting exported via taxidermist, is subject to VAT. Vat is now 15%
Some Outfitters build the vat into there packages so there isnt a surprise for the client at end of hunt

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
