How does the VAT (BTW) deposit work for customers outside the EU?

You do not have to pay VAT (BTW) if you buy a vehicle that will be shipped outside the EU. You do however pay a VAT (BTW) deposit of average 10% of the purchase amount. When we get provided proof the vehicle left the EU at the place you informed us about on the contract and you provide us with your local registration you are refunded the deposit. After 12 months it’s redeemed into our account and can’t be claimed for.
