Hello dear user, we have been a business owner in the catering sector for a month. We would like to buy a CC end of February and have a question as to what it looks like with the tax office and the tax. You can tax the 19% VAT, but then you get the money back immediately after the purchase or what does it look like? As already mentioned, we are only 1 month self-employed and the tax office would surely ask how you can afford a 34 000€ so quickly. German mentality So the question is whether this is immediately reported to the tax office of VW, the bank or anyone else when we buy a car. After my consideration, we would have 3-4 months after the purchase, until the car is built and arrived. Only then will the bank receive the first installment (we finance the car via the VW bank). So you could make a profit in this time and it would not be a problem for the tax office. You would only know in 3-4 months that we bought a car because I don’t think so, ask for your help.
