Anchor Vans urges customers to buy new and used vans before VAT increase in January 2011

Nov. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Padworth UK, Anchor Vans, one of the leading vendors of used vans in the UK, is urging its customers to buy their new or used van before the end of the year in order to avoid the 2011 VAT increase. In January 2011 VAT increases from 17.5% to 20%, thereby adding to the cost of a replacement van for small businesses which depend upon their commercial vehicles. For more information call 0118 9710 230 or go to www.vatfreevans.co.uk.

"We're doing all we can to help our customers avoid being stung by the January 2011 VAT increase," said Simon Joyce, Sales Director for Anchor Vans. "We're informing our customers now so they still have time to buy either a new van or a used van from us before January, so they only have to pay 17.5% in VAT. Our other major effort to save our customers money has focused on the retail of VAT free vans."

When asked about Anchor Vans' VAT free vans initiative, Simon replied; "We've been scouring the country for used vans which have already had the VAT paid on them so we can pass on that saving to our customers. Many of them are small business owners and sole-traders, and paying VAT on a commercial vehicle is a serious cost. The VAT free vans listed on our dedicated micro site are already 17.5% cheaper than any other vans available," Simon added, "and when the VAT rate is increased in the New Year, they'll be 20% cheaper! I would advise any customers planning to upgrade their vehicle to check www.anchorvans.co.uk to see our widest range of vehicles now, just to make the most of their chance to avoid the VAT increase."
