SSR registration

[sailaboutvic]

Anyone renew their latery ?
I Cant be 100% as I not done mine for some years but a conversation I had with another cruiser who said he not been long since he renews his said,
When he applied online he was ask for prove of VAT payment and prove or ownership ie bill of sale.
Now if this is correct it could get very interesting for them who not got any written prove plus if the boat was in the EU Dec 2020 thats another problem .

Just done mine, gave them lots of feedback. Clearly a system written by somebody who has little understanding of what is going on.

And was you ask for what I have been told and posted.

 

[madabouttheboat]

Did mine a couple of moths back. None of those things were asked for. Maybe a new application is different.

did a renewal over the phone last year for a friend enroute to the azores,they were very helpful and sent a digital registration to his email,and hard copy to our address,registration was already expired for over a year!

Thanks i can't imagine this cruiser is making it up , which is why I am asking the question .
If that is correct , we can all see where this may lead .

Mine is on the Part 1 so I guess that they will make that more complicated as well.
A survey was required when I initially moved it from the Maltese registry to the British registry.
I "kind of" wonder why I put her on the Part 1 - no mortgages or anything so perhaps I should have put her on the SSR.

Was it definitely a Part 3 renewal?

Mine needs renewing, it will be interesting to find out.
However to the best of my knowlege, unless huge legal alterations have been covertly introduced to the SSR:
SSR is not proof of title, any more than a vehicle's V5.
SSR is independent of VAT status ( my boat is much too old for VAT)

I can vouch for how helpful they are. I turned up at Camaret a few years ago and couldn't produce one (I'd left it at home) and was in for a substantial fine - so I rang them up, and they faxed a copy to the marina.

Things have changed, at least in one sense. No hard copy anymore.

Is your friend and/or boat outside of the UK? Maybe there are a few extra questions for boats/people that are.

 

[John100156]

I managed to update the SSR on my boat about 18m ago, and do not recall any aggravation or additional docs required; thankfully not due again now until 2024, when hopefully things will have settled down a bit once FRexit and SPexit has occurred!

There is no such thing as too old for VAT. Your boat was probably deemed VAT paid in the 90s but if a VATable event happens then you will have to pay VAT on the value of it. Do you have evidence that your boat has been within the UK VAT area (or EU) since 1990?

I did mine in February, straight forward no additional information required. The new certificate is an A4 sheet not laminated though.

 

[madabouttheboat]

I just checked. Mine was in Feb too. No additional questions or info required.
