Buying a Vat qualifier for export to CI?
Discussion
Anyone know if this works?
Saw something about this in another thread, and a friend in the motor trade mentioned it to me in passing. Just wondering if this works, and if so, how?
If I buy a car at auction thats a VAT qualifier, and take delivery, can I just insure it, drive it down to the port and register it in jersey without the whole VAT thing?
Its pretty much the only way I can see making sense of buying used in the UK thanks to Jerseys VED and 5% gst

I did this recently with my new Porsche which I purchased from Reading OPC. Once I had done the paperwork there I did just drive it over and re-register it here in Guernsey. (So, you may find the auction room/seller needs to fill in VAT forms and have you help complete them to show it is being exported.) The DVLA here sent the original reg doc back to the UK DLVA so it could be shown/confirmed as exported re/registered.

lovely thanks chaps!
-when you say new porsche, you mean new to you or new new?
I've seen a fair bit of boring stuff as VAT qualifiers, and a couple of bentleys, the problem is weighing up registration in jersey, since anything fun is high on their VRD list, meaning about £2k + 5% GST. So needs to be a decent saving to make it worthwhile.

New new, but per the other poster you'll find the process not too different (new new cars destined for export get an XB temporary plate).-when you say new porsche, you mean new to you or new new?

Just joining this as it is similar to my query. I am about to buy a brand new motorbike and will be a jersey resident as of June 1st. Triumph will supply the bike here on uk plate, I want to then export it and claim back the VAT and pay local GST when I register it on to J plates. Any idea if I can put some miles on the bike on the mainland before doing this or will it have to go straight toJersey to qualify? Any help much appreciated.

I think the guidelines allow you to use it in the UK for up to 6 months. You need to ensure that the garage register the vehicle accordingly so you get the appropriate temp UK reg plate.
