vat increase

[dubber36]

When you have to pay for your car should be down to the discretion of the dealer.

I have clients that are wanting their invoices from me now for work that i won't be doing until at least March or April.

I don't know what you're all panicking about; my dealer tells me that the extra VAT will not be charged by VW on cars registered up to end of Feb. Obviously if you don't expect to get your car before then it could be a problem, but tentative enquiries indicate that my dealer would not charge me the extra VAT even after end of Feb. due to my long wait for the car. Maybe my dealer is more understanding than some others but it's worth asking.

This thing about vat end of feb come on be honoust would you really want a 59 reg car that in around two days of owning it of days will look 6month old!!!!!!
VW are taking the piss the least they could do as compo is let people register them in March since they made them wait 6 months plus!!!!

You don't need to pay anything.

My accountant informs me that as long as the invoice is rendered before 31st December it qualifies for 15% VAT, it dosn't mater when the account is settled.

the only thing you may have to watch for is the terms and conditions of what time you have to settle that invoice. I know the firm i work for and most our clients state 60days and then you start to get charged a %

It's the 'Commercial Debt Act' in England. An imputed interest charge is made over and above debt due.

Surely VW pushing this VAT increase issue is eroding the goodwill us dubbers have...? Can their billions not absorb the extra 2.5%?
