Hello german corvette fans,
First of all I dont know where to post this thread but I need yopur help. I have a small problem right now,
I bought a C5 2 years ago from germany from a privateperson (non dealer). This guy was the one who was the owner of the car and his name was written in the farzugbrief so we went to the zulausungstelle and did the change of the ownership with no problems and i went back to sweden.
Today 2 years later he calls me and says that he has some problems with the german tax autorities, the car he sold to me was bought to his company with no Mwst (VAT) I dont think he knew that he would need to pay the Mwst when he exported the car.
So my question to you guy´s are what shall I do? Should I send him the abmeldebesicheinigung that he wants from me to show the tax autorities that he sold it to sweden or?
Who shall pay the Mwst to german tax autorities Me or he? will they accept his story if he can show them the abmeldebesicheinigung. Maybe later they will come to me and ask me to pay the german Mwst.
How does things work in germany is it my responsabillity to check if the car has a payed Mwst because he never told me that his car was bought by his company. what shall I do help me!!
