VAT (Value Added Tax) is a 20% tax added to the price of new vehicles.
Businesses that are VAT-registered can claim back this VAT when they buy a van or pickup.
When you buy one of these on Auto Trader, the VAT might:
- Already be paid
- Be included in the total price
- Need paying as an extra charge
You can filter for the differences when searching using the 'VAT Status' option:
VAT Status | Reason |
No VAT | VAT already paid. The price will show as 'No VAT' |
VAT to pay | VAT is included in the total price. The price will show as 'Inc VAT' |
You'll need to add 20% to the price. The price will show as '+VAT' |
