VAT Qualifying Cars
Most cars we sell on mfldirect are not VAT qualifying, but occasionally we do publish a small number of VAT qualifying vehicles.
You can identify a VAT qualifying car on mfldirect by the VAT icon on the vehicle listing. If you choose to buy a VAT qualifying car, there are some small differences to our usual processes you should know about:
Your VAT invoice
If you buy a VAT qualifying car, our system automatically issues a non-VAT qualifying invoice. We then produce a reversal invoice which supersedes the automated original and includes the VAT element. You will also receive a credit note for the original non-VAT qualifying invoice. These will be available to download from your purchase history within 24 hours of purchase.
Please note that the total value of the invoice will not change.
Example:
- A standard non-VAT qualifying car is invoiced at a straight £10,000
- A VAT qualifying invoice will still invoice as a total of £10,000, however the breakdown will look like this - car value £8,333.33 + VAT £1,666.67 = Total £10,000
Delivery cost on VAT qualifying cars
If you choose to have the car delivered, the delivery cost remains VAT qualifying.
Claim payments on VAT qualifying cars
If you raise a claim on a VAT qualifying car and we agree a contribution, the contribution value agreed will be inclusive of VAT.
