I am hoping to buy an old barge, built in 1897 and converted to residential use in 1985.
Unfortunately there is no VAT history, this being a probate sale.
I've spoken to Customs and Excise and they tell me that in order to fall within the deemed VAT paid provisions, I need evidence that the vessel was in European waters as at 31 December 1992. This evidence is not available.
I wonder whether anyone has come across Indemnity Insurance to cover this type of problem?
Thanks
Roland
