VAT on vintage commercial vehicle

[crankedup]

Pondering on purchase of a light vintage panel van at an auction but I am unsure as to wether the van would attract VAT on top of the winning bid price. So far as I can gather the vehicle has been used for private pleasure motoring only for many years. The van was registered in the 1920's. Many thanks for any replies.

I would assume that it is treated no different to any other commercial vehicle.

Thanks Eric, altho obviously not the answer I was hoping for, Ho Hum

All depends on if the seller is vat registered or not, if they are then it will attract vat

As I said, no different to buying a normal second hand vehicle at auction.

Why should it matter anyway? If you are VAT registered, it is totally irrelevant if the vehicles is being sold with or without VAT.
