Your are absolutely correct. I bought my first car, a brand new Golf GTI mrk2, from VW in Denmark tax free for £5500. Was near 10k in the UK at the time.Used to be great for importing a car from there because of the crazy tax though as they had a cut to the bone base price without tax.
About 20 years ago we ordered a MR2 roadster for the Mrs in RHD from a dealer in Denmark. Price without danish taxes was sub 10k I think, list in uk was about 18k at the time. Had it shipped to Hull, paid about £1500 tax in uk on invoice price. Result!
Note the tax free Danish number plates which I drove on for 1 year before UK registration.
