ORIGINAL POSTER
I am moving to Thailand in June, and once I have secured my retirement visa I will have my 1 year old 24"iMac sent over from the UK.

Customs will charge me 7% VAT as it's imported, but I am unsure what tax they will add.

I could have it sent to my friend who works for the government as that might avoid heavy taxes ( thinking it is for official use)

Any thoughts dear friends?
