Reclaiming VAT when driving back/Condor
Discussion
Apologies for the confusion, this isn't a car, this is "stuff". Refurbishing a house in Jersey and will be taking a load of materials and fittings with me, and wanted to claim the vat back.
However subsequent investigations have shown its a little harder, I need a vat claim back form which most hardware companies don't do...

Perversely, the stuff you carry over to Jersey is probably cheaper with VAT than buying in Jersey, but if you could get the VAT back too!!
yeah, it has me salivating a bit!![rolleyes](/inc/images/rolleyes.gif)

Depending just how far I want to go (which in truth isn't massively far!) but I reckon its almost better me buying a van in london (a vat qualifier of course!

For example, I drove over recently with a copper hot water cylinder, £600 in jersey, paid £174 inc VAT in london... However the plot thickened a bit, it turned out the one in Jersey is thicker, which in london would have been £336 inc vat. It would have been nice getting the VAT back on that.... I actually briefly considered bringing about 6 of them over with me (now suddenly we're talking about £400 vat back) since my plumber said I'd have no problem shifting them for £450 a pop. Whilst I'm not exactly planning a career in the copper cylinder business, sticking a spare 1 or 2 in the back if I had space would have been good.
I'm planning on buying a new kitchen too, 12 units and some appliances, so all in all, it would have been a good plan. Apparently I have to ask the retailer to very kindly ask HMRC to supply them with the forms, which is a bit of paper work and takes a few weeks.
I'll have to see, but the savings could well make it worth while.
