5.8 Do I have to pay VAT on a second hand boat?
A boat owned by an individual or corporate organisation that is resident in the EU has the right to move freely throughout the EU, so long as VAT has been paid on that vessel in one of the EU countries. This means when sailing in domestic waters and between any EU countries, such boats must carry proof of VAT payment. Examples of documents you could use include the original boat builder's receipt, or a paid invoice, or some other original document clearly showing that VAT has been paid. Those people who do not have to obey this rule must have, on board, a document delivered by customs or the relevant authority, stating the reasons for this exemption. The VAT status of a second hand boat is important, because your boat needs to have VAT paid status to be allowed to move freely throughout the EU. It is important to understand that the VAT status of a boat can change during the course of a boats life. If you would like to have an overview of EU countries click here:
