Since you are an unregistered individual you need not charge any vat on the sale of the second hand car. and if you are selling to an individual then there is not need at all to charge del vat. If it is company to whom you are selling your car then since you are an unregistered individual you cannot recover del vat from the buying customer. hence please dont charge any vat on the sale of the second hand car. rgds
