Jersey Supplied Cars - C16?

[w5pwr]

Does anybody know if cars supplied by the Porsche Dealers in Jersey (Jacksons) are C16 models?

Thanks.

As they;re part of the Uk network they should be C16

yes, what you after?

Yeah, jersey supplied cars are all as per UK spec.

There may be VAT issues to sort out taking one to the UK but I don't know how much or how it would be calculated.

If you're buying from them for immediate export to the UK, VAT will be payable at the invoice price.

If the car is new, hasn't left the dealer's ownership and is for immediate export, it may be possible to reclaim the vehicle registration duty (or whatever it's called now) as the tax point for that (I believe) is when the car leaves trade to be bought by an individual or company on the island (I think this was negotiated by th larger hire car fleets so the cars that are shipped in, rented and shipped out are never subject to VRD as it would render the VAT-wash ineffective).

Thanks for the replies, now also have build details from Porsche confirming the car is a C16.

The cars at a dealer so they have taken care of the tax.......

If it's still on Jersey plates, check it with the dvla, it's not unknown for dealers to import a car without paying vat.
