The liquidity case

How does the risk assumption and financing of VAT work at Boatsman?

Our offer

What is the liquidity case?

When it comes to selling vehicles abroad, VAT can be an important financial aspect. Domestically, vehicles must be sold inclusive of VAT (19% in Germany) and this tax can be claimed as input tax. However, the refund period depends on the classification of the tax office, which can lead to pre-financing.

Our service offers you the advantage of risk assumption and VAT financing. You sell your vehicle to us gross, without pre-financing. In addition, you do not have to worry about possible special audits by the tax office. We assume the risk and ensure a smooth transaction, without longer capital commitments.

With Boatsman, you benefit from a transparent and financially secure sales process that allows you to focus on the international market without having to worry about complex VAT issues and financial bottlenecks.

The process

The 'liquidity' aspect of tax sales processing

Careful planning and implementation VAT disbursement are essential to ensure your financial security when selling a vehicle abroad. At Boatsman, we have the expertise and experience to help you with these complex aspects of selling a car. 

Risk assumption and VAT financing play a significant role in international trade. Here you can learn how these processes work and why they are of great importance:

Risk assumption

The risk assumption aspect of the liquidity case refers to the protection of your vehicle sale against possible risks. When selling a vehicle internationally, unexpected events can occur that jeopardise the sale, such as non-payment by the buyer or transport damage. By careful planning and choosing the right hedging strategy, you can minimise such risks.

VAT financing

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a significant tax component in many countries that must be taken into account when selling a vehicle abroad. The Liquidity Case helps to ensure that VAT is handled correctly. Financing VAT is a crucial step in ensuring that you do not experience any financial bottlenecks. 

If you have any further questions about the liquidity case, please do not hesitate to ask us. We are happy to help!

Brief overview

What should you bear in mind when financing VAT?

The three risks of VAT financing

Dealing with VAT when selling vehicles abroad is an important aspect that needs to be carefully considered. Here are some important points to consider:

1. pre-financing of VAT: When selling vehicles domestically, customers must pay VAT at the rate of 19%. This tax can later be claimed as input tax. However, the refund is made depending on the classification of the tax office, at different intervals (monthly, quarterly or annually). This means that sellers have to pre-finance the VAT until the refund is made.

2. special audits by the tax office: The tax office can order a special audit at any time to ensure that all necessary evidence for the VAT refund has been provided. This can lead to delays in the refund and mean a longer capital commitment.

3. capital commitment and financial challenges: The pre-financing of VAT can lead to financial bottlenecks and prolong the capital commitment as the refund is not immediate.
