Hi. I just trying to get some clarity on when I'm allowed to sell my car, once I've returned to the UK, (after exporting it using the personal export scheme). In the Personal Export Scheme (VAT Notice 707) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) specifically, it doesn’t mention anything about waiting to sell 12 months after re-importing. But I know this is the case with ToR relief. Also, in the conditions on the VAT410 form (number 5) is says 'you must dispose of the vehicle in the UK, by hire, pledge, gift or sale..'. But I assume this before you have exported the vehicle? It isn't clear. There is also no time limit on this statement. Obviously at some point I'm going to sell this car - but the statement makes it sound like I'm never allowed to do this. Which I'm sure isn't the case. Thanks for the help, George

Hi George, Just wondering if you got any clarity on this post when you contacted VAT? I’m in a similar boat as I plan to use the PES whilst posted overseas and ship the car back to UK with a ToR. Could you also please tell me if the car is classed as an import or export on the V5C registration documents. I’m wondering whether this would affect the resale value?
