If declared properly, IIRC it's 2.2% duty, plus courier handling fee, plus 20% VAT.
So if you budget 23% for the governments cut, then £10-25 for the couriers fee, it'll give you a rough idea.

Doesn't using Centroid tie you to using a Windows 10 PC?

Probably but I’m ok with that.

It should be fine if you vet updates before applying them, it's still "Bleeding Edge" for systems you require to have guaranteed up time, if your CNC PC doesn't connect to the Internet and is only used for running the machine there should be no issues at all.

On a budget

No import tax (For EU at least) with MPG wheel or just search ebay for 500khz cnc for direct from china without the wheel. (~£130, take the risk)

You could do a lot worse there's a thread on here about them, many happy users on here and plenty of people to help you get started.
