VAT laws relating to second-hand vehicle sales are constantly changing—especially when it comes to margin vehicles. The rules prevent you from deducting the VAT you’ve paid on a margin car. And so, OPENLANE always includes VAT in the price shown for these cars.
There are also ways for dealers to benefit from margin laws. That’s why we make it easy to search for them. You can recognise margin vehicles on the OPENLANE platform by a "M" icon.
How to find margin vehicle auctions
It only takes seconds to discover margin vehicles for sale with our advanced search filters. Set ‘Show Margin Cars Only’ as the ‘VAT regime’ filter and you’re good to go. Plus, you can save your search parameters to use again in the future.
