Stupid question alert.

What’s the relevance of VAT qualifying when it comes to second hand supercars?

We claim the vat back on our commercial vehicles but might be a bit harder to tell hmrc that your Ferrari is used as a van?

Cheers!

It's been owned by a VAT registrrdd business (or businesses) since new. If you buy it for business purposes, you can claim back the VAT, but if you buy it for personal use, they'll add 20% to the price and you can't claim anything back.

In simple terms...

Its not add 20% to the price. Its the advertised price including vat but that 20% if you can offset it and avoid a HMRC inspection is a good chunk of saving if purchasing / financing through a company.

Its incredibly attractive to export market. A VAT Q Urus / 911 Turbo S / G63 etc will sell far, far quicker than a VAT margin car in my experience.
