Lastly, if you are buying from the EU, there is no VAT to pay. The only reason some adverts talk about "netto", "brutto" or "gross" is if the car is to be exported outside the EU.

All the cars I will be posting have 20% VAT included in the price, that way HMRC will be happy when you import it into the UK as VAT is paid. Don't want the VAT price? Just use a calculator.

Nothing wrong with cars from Italy if they are cheap as chips, just have them inspected and do what homework you can. I don't believe a car from a UK dealer is anything special and I treat UK dealers with as much suspicion as Italian one. I presume they clock their cars just as hard as UK ones.

Anyway, thread is not to debate pros and cons of LHD buying, just the cars themselves.

Hey mate, link no work.

If its via official porsche dealership then usually the 20% is applied and no more to VAT pay.

[Carl_Docklands]

£20k inc is going to be a tall order but I this one looks pretty clean for £28k inc.

generally speaking, if a car falls under EU vat law, hmrc will enforce vat payments on EU sourced goods and if you are a private individual living in the UK you have to pay the Vat on the purchase. if you buy an EU car where vat is payable and don't pay the full vat, hmrc will require proof when you import the car. if you can't prove vat was paid then, hmrc will bill you for the vat seperatley.

there will always be exceptions and dodges to that but generally speaking in the UK, if you are a private individual, you will need to pay vat on all purchases caught by EU legislation.

I avoided posting on tax because from previous experience everyone has their own view on it.

the adverts I have posted clearly state in most cases the vat situation of the car, in a lot of cases vat is applicable at 20%, you can see this from the advertisement. if you want to take a different path then that's fine but don't drag me into a debate about it.

please no more tax posts or questions on duty and just post the cars. if you want to know about how vat and duty works, just post your own thread.
