I think a broker I'm talking to has given me very incorrect VAT advice. They are selling a vessel which was manufactured outside of the EU in the early 1990s. Vessel has unknown history before 3 UK owners', last of which purchased in 2006. There is no documentation available at all relating to the VAT paid status of the vessel.
Here's the broker's comments on this:
"Any sale through BROKERNAME would certainly satisfy Tax paid and VAT concerns as part of our process"
I said that I felt that was not the case and they said:
"The vessel has previously been sold between two private individuals, VAT therefore ends and does no longer apply"
Has something now changed in relation to VAT on used boats? Or is this broker mistaken?
