I am selling my boat to a norwegian who intends sailing the boat from turkey via croatia back to norway, all non-eu countries. The boat was builtand british registered in 82 and I bought it in 88. I was cruising through greece in 92 but have no proof of this. The VAT man says the new owner will be liable to pay vat if he cannot prove the boats whereabouts in 92. Can the new owner change the ownership on the SSR without paying VAT. I think he may want to eventually sell it in UK. The VAT man says the boat will have to be valued by themselves to determine the amount of VAT payable. Would it not be better to pay VAT when the new owner eventuially sells the boat because it will have less value.
thanks for your wise words
