Vans used for commercial purposes are most likely to require VAT payment.

When a van states "plus VAT," it means that the price of the van does not include the value-added tax (VAT). VAT is a tax that is added to the cost of most goods and services in the UK.

If you are a VAT registered business or individual, you have the ability to claim back the VAT charged on your van purchase. This means that you can get a refund for the VAT amount, which can be a significant savings for business owners.

However, when you eventually sell the van, you will be required to charge VAT on the selling price. This is because VAT is a tax that is passed on throughout the supply chain, from the manufacturer to the consumer.

The reason why most used vans, unlike the majority of used cars, remain VAT qualifying is because they are often sold on by VAT registered businesses or individuals. Since these businesses or individuals are VAT registered, they would have charged VAT on the sale of the van, making it VAT qualifying for the next buyer.

It's important to keep in mind that this VAT process applies to commercial vehicles, like vans, as they are primarily used for business purposes. Personal vehicles, like cars used for personal travel, are generally not subject to VAT.

Overall, understanding the VAT process is crucial when purchasing and selling vans, especially for businesses or individuals who are VAT registered. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or accountant to ensure you are correctly following VAT regulations.

When someone sells a van, they usually have to add an extra tax called VAT to the price. But if the person selling the van isn't registered for VAT, they can't add it to the price. This means that the price of the van won't have any extra VAT added to it. 

For example, let's say someone buys a van for £10,000 and they have to pay £2,000 in VAT. If that person is not registered for VAT, they can't get that £2,000 back. So, when they sell the van, they can't charge the buyer an extra £2,000 for VAT.

This is why you might see some vans being sold without VAT included in the price. This usually happens when an individual, not a business, is selling the van and they are not registered for VAT. They would have paid VAT when they bought the van, but they can't charge VAT when they sell it.

So, if you come across a used van being sold by someone who is not registered for VAT, you may not have to pay extra VAT on top of the price.

It's important to know that this situation is more common with individual sellers of used vans, not businesses or people who are registered for VAT. Businesses and VAT-registered individuals are usually required to charge VAT when selling a van because they can get the VAT they previously paid on the purchase refunded.

If you want to claim back the VAT when buying a van and you are registered for VAT yourself, it's a good idea to ask about the VAT status of the van before making the purchase.

All of our vans undergo a HPI check to ensure that there is no outstanding finance or accident history (such as a Cat C or Cat D classification), unless otherwise specified in the vehicle description.

This provides assurance that the vans are clear from any previous issues that could affect their condition or ownership status. If you have any specific concerns or questions about a particular van, please let us know and we'd be happy to assist you further.

We understand that sending money can be nerve-wracking, we want to assure you of our credibility and provide you with peace of mind.

To address your concerns:

1. Delivery confirmation: We will provide you with the delivery schedule to your address and confirm the authenticity of the vehicle and transaction. This way, you can be assured that the process is genuine.

2. Vetting and licensing: We have undergone thorough vetting by external partners and governing bodies. As part of offering finance, we hold a Consumer Credit Licence issued by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our reference number is 942336. This demonstrates our adherence to regulatory standards and adds an extra layer of assurance.

3. Selective finance partners: Our finance partners carefully choose the businesses they work with. They ensure that we operate with high standards of conduct and do not put them at financial or reputational risk.

4. Separate account for funds: When you send funds to us via BACS, they are held in a separate account that is distinct from the main cash flow of the business. This protects your money and ensures that it is only incorporated into the business once your vehicle has been paid for and the title has passed to you.

We want you to feel confident and secure when working with us. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

We understand the importance of price when comparing vans online. While some vans may have lower prices, it's crucial to consider the value and peace of mind that our vehicles provide.

Our pricing reflects the meticulous preparation and refurbishment process that each van undergoes, both mechanically and aesthetically. We ensure that our vans are in the best possible condition, addressing any potential issues and avoiding hidden problems.

We prioritize building long-term relationships with our customers. That means we are dedicated to providing ongoing support and assistance, even after the sale.

We understand that price is an important factor in your decision-making process, and our goal is to provide transparent pricing that aligns with the current market value of each van.
