Default Van Scrappage

HI
I will be moving to Portugal in October. Can I scrap my van there at a scrap yard or do I have to return to the uk to avoid a lot of hassle?

Thanks in advance
Eddie

Yes, you can scrap it in Portugal.

1 - Vehicles that enter national territory and are not intended to be registered, as they are destined for dismantling, circulation or permanence in an exclusively private domain, collection or any other reason that exempts the attribution of national registration must, within 10 days useful after entering the national territory, be subject to presentation of DAV, the original documents of the vehicle being delivered to the IMT, IP, or to the competent services regarding land transport, in the case of autonomous regions, within 10 days from date of submission of the DAV.

2 - Vehicles destined for dismantling must be returned directly to the centers accredited for the purpose, with their owners or legitimate holders being obliged to send the vehicle destruction certificate to the entities referred to in the previous number, within 30 days.

Depending on the van I guess but it's common to sell a UK vehicle here to a parts place who will break it and sell the parts.
You keep paperwork and just let dvla in UK know... At least then you will make a few quid out of it

Hi,
I have previously bought an old cheap van from outside the EU to inside the EU and it then became liable for VAT on the value of the van where an official EU garage/car dealer had to value the van on their headed note paper (they'd accept the original invoice if I'd had it). You may find since Jan 1st this now applies to vehicles from the UK being disposed of within the EU.

Thanks Coleio,
I've a big folder full of paper work and the original invoice on the van(second hand) I'll add your advice to informing the DVLA. Something I thought |I would have been able to forget abuout. I rang a Portuguese scrap yard who are happy to take it. The mans English was perfect, said he would give me something for it when he sees it, I'll just want rid of it. I wondered how I would have got on ringing a English scrap yard and speaking Portuguese !! not far I expect.
Thanks for the heads up.
