has anybody had their household goods for more than 5 years and received their tax back? i naively though you got your tax back after 5 years and that was that, however how wrong could i have been . i had 3 years to run on a residents permit when my goods came over and looks like i hav been fined for not informing the customs that i had it renewed, also i have to pay the tax again for another 5 years ..before i get my initial tax back, all very confusing and a lot of hassle, luckily i have my wife and her backing of everything legal working on it for me, however would be interested to hear if anyone else has any problems as i would like to write an article about it, as am sure a lot of people will fall foul of it in the future and we are not talking small change here.
