Non-military tax free sales eligibility
You can buy a vehicle free of UK VAT if you intend:
• to live outside the country for a period of time and are taking the vehicle with you
• to export it permanently
Ford Credit offers a 'Credit Sale' finance product that can be used for vehicles that are being exported from the UK (for at least six months) by Forces personnel.
It provides legal title to the goods at the outset of the finance agreement. As export vehicles are purchased for use outside of the UK, they are exempt from UK VAT.
However, a customer exporting one of these vehicles may remain liable to pay the local VAT upon arrival in another country. Please note – where VAT is not paid, proof of eligibility to support the zero-rating must be supplied to Ford Credit (e.g. export form 411).
Other hire purchase finance programmes may also be offered for Military personnel .
