UK Sailaway VAT Scheme

[Dino]

Just wondering if anyone has used this scheme to export a boat out of the UK? Sailaway boats supplied for export outside the UK (VAT Notice 703/2)

Do certain brokers participate in this a hem and is it an option for exporting secondhand boats?

The scheme is primarily used by new boat builders or agents for new boats. The only second hand boats that would be eligible are those currently owned by a VAT registered entity for business use and on which VAT has been reclaimed as an input. Examples would be charter boats.
