Vat 2008 Bmw

[paulo99]

And don't forget you get a 3 year warranty in UK (2 years here on BMW). So when you buy the 6 month old car you will still have a warranty longer than buying new car here, its a no brainer to me. Buy 6+ old month BMW with 6,000km, you wont have to go through process of paying 21% VAT here on the OMSP and then reclaiming the 17.5 VAT from UK.

you can't reclaim the uk vat if the car is not new....
"The thing is that any car that's younger than 6 months old or any car with less than 6,000km on the clock is considered to be new from a VAT point of view - some EU rule."

Hence the irish rule to couneract this...
