—Frequently asked questions
These are the most frequently asked questions we are asked from the automotive sector.
How is VAT on spare parts and labour in a repair managed?
Both labour and spare parts used in a repair are generally subject to 21% VAT. When an insurance company is involved, billing may require specific treatment depending on who is the recipient of the repair and who is responsible for payment. We review each case so that the invoice and VAT are managed correctly.
What environmental obligations does a body and mechanical workshop have?
Used oils, batteries, filters and other waste generated by a workshop require specific management. Depending on the activity and location of the business, there may be obligations for registration, storage, delivery to authorized managers and certain fees. We help you identify the obligations that correspond to your workshop and keep the documentation in order.
Can I deduct VAT and the costs of a replacement vehicle from the workshop?
The possibility of deducting VAT and associated expenses depends on the actual use of the vehicle and its connection with the activity. When it is used exclusively to provide a service specific to the workshop, as a replacement vehicle for clients, it is especially important to be able to prove this impact. We analyse each case and the necessary documentation to correctly apply the deductions.
