BPM: In accordance with the Dutch legislation on the taxation of passenger cars and motorcycles (BPM), it is confirmed that the BPM has been paid in full for the relevant Dutch cars offered for sale on Troostwijk Auctions. However, the sales process involves an administrative adjustment where the residual BPM is removed from the bid amount for foreign buyers, as the selling party is eligible for a refund of the residual BPM.
This price structure results in an advertised 'export price' for foreign buyers. It is important to note that Non EU buyers and Dutch buyers who choose to register the car on a Dutch license plate and continue to drive will see the BPM amount stated on their invoice and must pay it. The remaining BPM amount is stated in the lot description under additional information. This administrative arrangement is therefore intended to ensure that the transaction runs smoothly and meets the needs of both foreign and Dutch buyers, while ensuring compliance with the requirements of Dutch tax legislation.

Deposit: We require a deposit from EU buyers for the recovery of BPM. This is in line with EU rules. This will ensure that the tax is paid and the necessary documentation is submitted for recovery. The EU country's required registration ensures the legitimacy of the transaction.
For EU buyers, requiring a security deposit for the amount of BPM to be recovered is a legally acceptable practice. This is based on the principle of freedom of contract and the possibility of setting conditions on the sales agreement. Under EU law, in particular the Value Added Tax (VAT) and Excise Tax Directive, Member States can set conditions for reclaiming taxes such as BPM for vehicles exported to other EU countries. Requiring a security deposit is a legitimate condition to ensure that the amount to be recovered is paid in BPM and that the required documentation is submitted to justify the recovery. This practice ensures that the seller is protected from potential losses while also allowing the buyer to secure the chargeback. The condition that the official registration must be received from the EU country in question strengthens the legitimacy of the transaction and ensures a transparent procedure for both the seller and the buyer.

There is no forklift available during the collection day.
