Thanks everyone for your help, it is how d7neo said after all my research the customer turned out abit of a messer! atleast now I know!

Hi everyone, i mainly deal in commercials, I have a client in Malta that wishes to purchase a van of me which is vat qualifying. He is telling me that I do not charge him the vat as he can’t claim uk vat back and that he supply’s me with proof of export and some type of vat certificate from his side for me to show when I claim the vat back my end for the vehicle, however I was told by an account that I just invoice the client per normal with the vat but the accountant hadn’t dealt with any type of trades in Malta. The client is a trader himself and has sent me a link to hmrc that does kind of back up what the client is telling me. Has anyone had any experience with sending a vat qualifying vehicle to Malta? Any help appreciated. Thanks

We specialise in commercials and are based in Essex. We have been very quiet, what was the van and details? The only things we have had interest on are the bargains

Great, that's what I'm looking for, hopefully they can help me out!

Thank you mate il drop him an email now

Thanks for your reply mate, hopefully therel be able to help me out

Has anybody used evolution as brokers? Currently had a meeting with Motornova finance and they was abit reluctant to work with us due to what I could make out is our stock wasn't higher enough in value. They recommended using a broker recommending evolution first and then approaching them in a couple of month if we are putting a few through. So before I give them a bell tomorow just wondering if anyone's had any dealings with them? Good or bad. Thanks in advance!

Last month was really quiet but only had a few up for sale as I'm just starting out but done 2 yesterday and have another 2 on the hook for this week so it does seem to be starting to pick up abit but not going to count my chickens. Hopefully a sign for a good month, touch wood !

That's what I like about commercials 9 times out of 10 there work horses for people if there's a dink or dent somewhere there not fazed by it and normally don't even use it as a bartering tool

Thanks for advice trade vet, suppose it's just trial and era in the early days of any business!

I think the vat limits customers because if the person isn't vat registerd 20% on top is quite a chunk extra so people rather go private but obviously there's not much you can do about that, I've currently got a 13 plate berlingo for sale which is priced competitively with no vat and havnt had much interest I don't know if it's because you can get the same shape and mileage on an older plate for quite abit less ? So Mabey people can't warrant the extra money just for a newer year Mabey. I've just gone vat registerd and have my first van up for sale which is +vat which has seemed to put some people off but is hard to tell because I'm a newbie and know it's a slow time of year so Probably that's playing a big factor in things also it's a van I havnt sold before so don't know how popular they are so hard to tell.

Fingers crossed then! I'm still finding what stocks good news for me etc so I wernt sure if it was the time of year or the stock I have around me. Thanks for your reply

Is there any commercial dealers on here? How did you find last month up until now? im just starting up and have been going for about 5-6months nothing has really been hanging about up until a month ago!

Our accountant has got us using a app called kashflow, I think they tweeked a few things for us so there's a section to put in reg number etc I find it pretty straight forward and I'm no accountant

I'm 23 me and my uncles insurance is 1100 a year as a limited company and is both being directors but he has been with them years, before he had his own policy and I was down as working for him and I think it was around 800 for me to go on the policy. But I'm not allowed to drive certain cars

I am based in Essex. Cheers Yeah I have been told this but I'm new to all of the finance side so want to approach it correctly. Cheers

Thanks everyone for your replies they've helped a lot, what does everyone's fca fee cost them a year so I know I am choosing the right tarif. Thanks

thanks mate

Thanks a lot rory, much appreciated . Thanks for everyone else's replys

For anyone interested I just messaged zuto via live chat and had this response. Due to a recent review ing are dealer criteria we an not taking inquiries directly from dealerships. However, if a customer was interested in one of your vehicles we would then be able to look at working with you. The customer would need to give us your details.

We use roadrunner my uncles been with them around 20 years

Thanks for both your replys, another question I havnt paid my fca yearly fee yet I understand the fees are different depending on what services you offer. What does everyone pay for there fee? Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply mate, has made me abit more cautious on how to go about it. Cheers

Thanks for your reply, I had even thought about things like that. Who do you use if you don't mind me asking?
