But of course you are still a private seller and not a motor-trader, thus the Sale of Goods and Services Act doesn't apply for any punter buying one of your "many many cars" "sold...this way".he bought the car sold as seen....i have sold many many cars this way and never had any crap like this. once he signed for it its now out of your hands.
let the gangster cry all he wants because its nothing got to do with you PERIOD
We have now bought another car
Did you "forget" to pay the VRT on this one as well?
If so you can treat this post as a gentle reminder.
Let me take a wild guess here. Would the need to pay €4.5k in VRT on importing and registering the car in your name have any bearing on the poor memory, or is that just my cynical side showing?
If OP was NI-based the garage would have registered the V5 in OP's name on purchase, so that probably means the car was bought as a personal export with the V5 handed over at point of sale. (Just noticed OP's location says Co. Louth)
I agree it's not acceptable that you or your wife should have to be on the receiving end of abuse from the purchaser, but it's also not acceptable that the car be driven around with no VRT or tax paid on it in this country, thus abusing our taxation laws. I guess the old saying about birds of a feather might apply here.
I think the OP is looking for advice on his predicamint, not a lecture on the rights and wrongs of paying VRT.
Listen DB74, I never claimed at any point to have "Forgot" to have paid VRT or any Tax. Perhaps you would be better suited to read what I did say or ask me to clarify what you didnt understand before throughing your opinion unrelated to the OP in there,
Im originally from Louth but my wife is from belfast and we have lived in N.I for some years, We bought a guesthouse in 2001 and so all my tax affairs are in N.I. ( UK ) and therefore I am not liable to paying VRT in the south.
But I have in recent years invested in property and other things in the south and always paid Dirt, Stamp and any and every Tax or Duty which had to be paid wheither I agreed with them or not.
For anyone to attempt to call me a tax cheat is seriously insulting to me givin that I have paid possibly more tax and stamp duty in the south in recent years than I have up in the north here.
In the reply to the other post where I refer to all the fun and games that went on with the Government down south ( which I see no relivance to this post ) I feel that there should not be such a difference in prices for the same parts, he can get the parts in the US for $360 or somthing about that and to buy here they cost €1200, Thats crazy!!.. and the majority of the €1200 is all tax or vat ect. I struggle to see why he should have to pay Brian Cowans cowboys any import tax for parts he intends to use on his own car, its not as if he was making a massive profit on them by selling them on again ( Like some people obviously were by trying to charge him €1200 here on items that can be bought abroad for $350 USD ). I understand my comments might have been a little insencitive to any fina fail supporters ect but its my opinion that he should not have to pay import duty on some item for personal use!.. some may disagree and I accept that but its my opinion on that issue, If its law and the tax has to be paid then so be it, it has to be paid. but im just of the opinion it shouldnt, Not saying I would refuse to pay it just saying I dont agree with it.
I would just like to clarify again, I AM NOT and have never been in my life a tax cheat or have I ever avoided VRT due to the fact it does not apply to me..
+1
Its "nice" to see that the moral police are still alive and well on AAM.
Celebratin' in Hayes' Hotel. And will be for the rest of the week.Where are the stone throwers now?
Actually what I did was ask a question out of puzzlement at the situation as outlined originally, thanks for the clarification. I stand over my musings and comments based on the information provided in the OP and your request for input.... I hope this clarifys that I have NOT abused any southern tax laws as you suspected.
Any fallers yet or are ye good for a few more days of it?Celebratin' in Hayes' Hotel. And will be for the rest of the week.
BTW, those "southern tax laws" may be relevant in Cork & Kerry; the ones I try to abide by are Irish
Did you give the same conflicting story to the buyer?
QUOTE
The vehicle was registered to a garage up north here where I originally purchased the car
I purchased the car a few years ago in the UK I done a HPI check and it showed up HPI clear
This is so confusing.
Did you buy the car in the UK as stated by you?
I purchased the car a few years ago in the UK
If so have you some relationship with the garage for them to have put their name down as the owners?
Before you sold the car why did you not register it in your name?
That should have been done if you were the seller.
If the buyer has issues with the car and the last owners as detailed on the log book was a garage then I can understand why he might try and sue the garage
