Sale
Sale in international waters
The conditions for selling a yacht outside the EU fiscal territory — or, conversely, for retaining the benefit of the VAT-paid status.
In order to sell a yacht tax-free, the sale must take place outside the fiscal territory of the EU. Some countries accept a sale upon a simple exit from territorial waters (France), while others (Spain) require passage through a third country (typically Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Gibraltar…). Evidence must therefore be provided of the yacht’s presence in international waters, or coming from the waters of a third country, at the time of the sale.
In other sale situations, the aim is to make the sale within an EU territory, so as to retain the benefit of the VAT-paid status.
