Hello Andreas, The international VAT rules in car business are quite simple. 1. If you are a professional cardealer - With VAT number - paiment from abroad and CMR (international transport document ) you can buy without VAT in any country. 2. You have a karting company - so no professional cardealer - you are considered as a privat buyer with a VAT number. So yes we ask you the amount of the VAT as a warranty so our customers would sent us back ASAP their registration document from their country. Because that document is the only document in Europe which will tell us your car has been custom cleared and VAT paid in your country Slovakia. And it is a WARRANTY - there is nothing strange or accounting wise complicated. We have over 25-years of experience in this kind off business, so yes we know what we are doing. Nobody will take a 13.000€ VAT risk if you do not sent us back the necessary documents !! So we respect your choice by not proceeding - please respect our policy not wanting to take a 13.000€ VAT risk on somebody who we don't know and lives in Bratislava. If you have bought a car in the meantime we wish you the best of luck with it.
