Can a margin car be sold for business purposes?

Yes, a margin car can be sold to a business buyer. In some cases, a car dealer may choose to convert the margin sale into a VAT sale. The purchase price is then recalculated and the business buyer receives a VAT invoice, allowing them to reclaim the VAT.

However, this depends on the situation and on whether the selling dealership is willing to structure the sale this way.

How does this work exactly?

Normally, a margin car is sold without separately stating VAT. The VAT is already included in the sales price and cannot be reclaimed.

If a dealership decides to sell the car as a VAT vehicle:

• The price is recalculated to a price excluding VAT

• A VAT invoice is issued

• The business buyer may reclaim the VAT

This must always be agreed upon in advance.
