Motor Trade — second-hand vehicle margin scheme

Per-vehicle margin VAT for car dealers, with the stock book HMRC requires, DVLA lookups and bulk import.

Who it's for

Dealers selling second-hand vehicles bought without a recoverable VAT invoice. See VAT margin schemes on GOV.UK.

How OneSixth helps

  • Stock book — every required field per HMRC, generated stock references, retention enforced for 6 years.
  • DVLA lookup — pull vehicle metadata by reg number: make, colour, fuel type, engine size, year, MOT and tax status, type approval, CO₂ and Euro standard. A re-lookup button refreshes data that's gone stale.
  • Configurable stock references — set the stock-ref format that suits your dealership.
  • Bulk import — load a backlog of vehicles from a spreadsheet.
  • Per-vehicle margin — gross margin × 1/6 = VAT due on each sale.
  • Journal posting & export — post straight to your accounting platform, with a full audit trail, and export the stock book to XLSX.
