    Any of you know if it is possible to reclaim the VAT ( from UK revenue) for a used tractor purchased in UK and exported to Ireland.

    See this link - http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/consumers-vehicle.htm

    Hi
    If you have an Irish vat number and you buy a tractor in the UK you supply the dealer with your vat number the vat is not added to your purchase. Therefore you do not need to reclaim it.

    I understand that. Just wondering if there were any options for non vat registered persons when the item was for export.

    All EU VAT systems are linked into each other- and can and are compared against each other. The UK authorities are particularly vigilant in this respect, as they have been stung numerous times in the for VAT carrousel fraud. While what you are suggesting may be peanuts in comparison to what some people have been caught doing- it is fraud nonetheless, and you will most likely get caught- particularly in the current climate.......

    No- there are not.
    If you wish to purchase the product VAT free, you must be VAT registered. Full stop.

    If anyone else has any more illegal ideas- they will be banned from this forum.

    I think you are way off the mark there,

    http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/

    stick the VAT number off any receipt in there, see what comes back.....

    Thanks for the replies lads. I was not looking for illegal solutions. My orginal query stemmed from reading this on the UK revenue site.

    I think that link refers only to new motor cars, if you are not registered here you will pay VAT at 15% over there.
