Hi everyone

Ive sold my van and its being picked up at 6.30pm today.

Could someone let me know that when I write out the receipt, if I should write an exact duplicate to be kept by myself?

Thankyou :o)

    Why not. Get him to sign it.

    I have always done that.

    Put the time on as well as it is the best defence if the new owner gets flashing by a speed cam on the way back and tries to say it was still your van (also protection for them if you got done earlier in the day - best way to convnce them).

    5t.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

  • If you want belt and braces - get a third person to sign it too i.e. witnessed by.

    No harm in doing a quick copy! Or - take a photo of the one you write out for him, save a minute's worth of handwriting!

    I know it's probably a bit late now, but you are VAT registered and reclaimed the VAT on the purchase of the van, you must charge VAT on the sale price of vehicle.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
