Hi there,
I've been scouring the boards for an answer to this question; I am an American about to move to Spain. I have a job offer but I don't have a work permit yet. It seems that my moving company is saying that I must pay a 16% IVA on my personal belongings I need to prove that I am going to stay in Spain. How do I prove that? Is this 16% normally included in the cost paid to the shipping companies?
