Personal Contract Hire – Regardless of the payment quotation given on these transactions, VAT is charged at the prevailing rate, payments made in 2009 will be charged at 15%, payments made from January 2010 at 17.5% rate advised until further notice from HMRC.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), Hire Purchase – Where a vehicle is invoiced and financed in 2009, repayments are calculated on a purchase price including 15% VAT. PCP transactions do not include any reclaimable VAT -

So if you are considering a PCP Deal and want to beat the increase we advise get your order in and subject to availability you could save 2.5% if the deal is completed in 2009.

Remember the tax point is the date of the invoice so any transaction invoiced from 1st January 2010 will be at the new VAT rate, Regardless of the date the car was ordered.

Cash Purchase – New and VAT Qualifying Used Cars ordered, invoiced and delivered in 2009 will include 15% VAT. Any applicable car invoiced in 2010 will be invoiced including 17.5% VAT – In over 95% of cases this 2.5% increase in VAT is not reclaimable…
