nigel dufty

Many thanks .. yes there is a phrase in VAT Notice 707 (section 6.1 ) that says that ''If either you or vehicle will not be staying outside the UK etc etc .....' but I cannot find any definition within the HMRC documentation that defines what 'staying outside' means. I am guessing that 'staying outside' means remaining non uk tax resident as per RDR3? Can anyone clarify please.

I am a channel islands resident that wishes to purchase a vat qualifying vehicle from a UK car dealer under the Personal Export Scheme. Am I still allowed to visit the uk to see family and friends, travel through airports etc (under standard residence rules) during the first six months after I have exported the car from UK and imported it to CI and re-registered it at my CI home? The car is for personal use and I have no intention of becoming a UK resident.

Please advise how I can get a record of CT61 forms submitted and payments made in the last 24 months. I have tried 03000 518371 but it rings for 35 mins and drops out. I have changed accountants and wish to reconcile their submissions. I believe my company is in credit with payments but cannot find a way online to check. Many thanks
