Used-equipment VAT explained
Read VAT labels consistently and know what to confirm on the seller invoice.
A displayed price may be VAT free, plus VAT or VAT included. The label describes the advertised price treatment, not your eligibility to reclaim VAT.
Ask the seller for a valid invoice and confirm their VAT registration where VAT is charged. Private sellers will commonly advertise VAT-free prices.
Take advice from your accountant for your own business and transaction.
