Hello all,
I have been reading through a lot of posts about the import tax on household goods when moving but couldn't find the information I am looking for.
My wife (dominican) and I are planning our return to the Dominican Republic after living for 4,5 years in Europe. Actually we are planning to move end of this year.
According to one thread i read here the import of household goods is exempt for a dominican (once in a lifetime) after living for 5 years abroad. However our moving company says this is after 2 years, and one dominican moving company (International Packers) says the same. I looked up Ley14-93 on Direcci?n General de Aduanas - DGA and found there 2 years as well. However, my wife called the dominican consulate in my country and they said 5 years.
If it s really 5 years, maybe we should wait half a year (however I found a job and what are the chances it's still there in half a year.
Anyone here that has the final answer.......?
thanks,
Mauricio
