VAT refund on ‘classic’ from Switzerland.
Discussion
I have a question on UK import VAT.
Considering buying a car from Switzerland. The car isn’t quite 30 years old. It’s 27 years old.
I am told I’d receive a VAT refund of 7.5% from the dealer once I show the car’s customs import documents from the UK. All good.
My question is, if I can have the HMRC recognise the car as of some historic relevance or significance - limited production run and rare technology - and therefore do not have to pay full VAT or import taxes - does this affect the VAT refund from Switzerland side?
