This procedure allows you to obtain a tax receipt for the vehicle and pay VAT. It applies to new or used vehicles originating from a European Union country other than France. This procedure is intended solely for professionals in the motor trade acting as buyers and resellers who are applying for a tax receipt for vehicles where the final purchaser is not yet known.
