    Hi lads,

    Friend of mine brings the odd vehicle home from England and has brought home a couple of vans this year. What is the status for me (vat registered and working in construction) of buying a van that is priced "plus vat".

    Eg. Van is £3500 plus vat.

    Am I correct that I give my vat number and therefore don't pay the vat.

    How does this work when I attempt to transfer it to ROI plates with vrt etc?

    Cheers

    Afaik once you are registered for vat you just give the seller the vat number and you pay the plus vat price as you said. That's always the way it was so unless it's changed recently.

    That's pretty much it, you don't need to pay the vat if you can show the seller a valid Irish VAT number. I've had problems with a lot of businesses/sales people knowing about this, including managers etc, if they aren't used to selling internationally it will probably need some explaining.

    Once you bring the van in, it's a flat rate €200. Make sure you get the full V5 logbook, everything but part 11 you will need.
