If a second-hand vehicle bought from a dealer (GST-registered) and not sold/exchanged rather upgraded to use for business purpose. Are GST credit claimable?
How GST claims differ if used motor vehicle is bought from private seller (not GST registered) to use for business purpose?
Hi there @Herkess
You can claim GST credits for motor vehicles up to the car limit if GST was included in the price, but I'm not sure what you mean by 'upgraded' so we may need a bit more info.
If it's a second hand vehicle from a private seller not registered for GST, you can only claim a GST credit if you're purchasing the vehicle to sell or exchange.
