How can I tell if a car is VAT Qualifying?

Some car dealerships will advertise their cars as VAT qualifying. This is often written in the specification on their advert. This is can happen because the dealer is aware of the export sale opportunity. However, VAT qualifying cars are also appealing to UK businesses who are looking to buy cars net of VAT for their businesses. So don’t automatically expect a dealer to be willing to make an export sale because they have cars advertised as Vat qualifying cars.

Not all VAT qualifying cars are advertised as VAT qualifying.          

Some UK dealers are keen to avoid an export sale and not advertise their VAT qualifying cars openly as VAT qualifying. So how can you tell if one of these cars is VAT qualifying?  This is when you need to tread carefully. Sometimes, a call from overseas is enough for a non-export dealer to block all sales on a car which has had an overseas enquiry. It is vital to confirm from the seller that the car is VAT qualifying. There are several key indicators such as age and mileage. But it’s essential that a confirmation is given. This is when a UK sale might be the only way to buy the car. If you are in any doubt about the VAT qualifying status of a car you can see for sale, simply get in touch and we’ll be very happy to help you with the purchase.
