Buying and Selling
How does VAT apply when buying and selling a boat?
The tax burden follows the boat’s flag, her age and how she is imported, so the same boat bought by different routes produces a different outcome. The purchase structure should be settled before price negotiation.
Why it works this way
General rules are unreliable here; the answer is specific to the file and current legislation is verified for each transaction.
