Alphabet sales: All the vehicles will be invoiced from Alphabet directly. BCA fees are excluded from the selling price and will be invoiced separately for each vehicle.

In addition to Buyer Fees the following fees are applied:

For all italian buyers:

  • Mini-passaggio di propietà (Legge Dini): 143€

For all foreign buyers:

  • Export fee: 100€
  • Document handling: 150€

All previously mentioned fees and fares apply singularly to each vehicle purchased.

In case of Special Sales, where different economic conditions apply, these are declared within the sale itself.

All foreign buyers, regardless whether they are located within or outside the EU, have to pay a VAT deposit (22% of the invoice value) for VAT Qualifying vehicles, unless transport is organised by BCA. The VAT deposit will be refunded upon receipt of legitimate proof of the arrival of the vehicle at final destination (CMR for EU buyers, MRN for non EU buyers).

Parking Fees

The Export Tax includes 11 parking calendar days, starting from the sending of the pickup authorization. After this period of time a parking fee is due:

  • 15€ + VAT per each calendar day (passenger cars)
  • 20€ + VAT per each calendar day (LCV and HGV)

After 20 days from the pickup authorization, your vehicle will be dispatched to your compound with BCA Transport Service (mandatory, all costs are at the complete charge of the buyer).

This amount has to be payed prior the vehicle can exit the compound.

Invoice and Payment


BCA Italy send you the invoice within 24 hours after the purchase.

You will receive the invoice on your email address.

The invoice will include the bidding price, de-registration tax and the buyer fees.

If the Vat of the vehicle is Qualifying Gross, the customer will have to pay the Deposit Agreement which will be refunded after BCA will receive the original CMR/MNR.

 

Please note that, from the day you receive the invoice, you will have 2 working days to pay for it (through bank transfer).

Collect your vehicle


Once the payment has been made and the vendor has released the collection authorization to BCA (each vendor has different timing to send the pick up order, min. 3 working day and max 15), you will receive a release document which states the address of the compound where your vehicle is located. At this point, you must arrange pick-up through a third-party transport company (self-pick-up is not allowed).

Please note that, from the day you won the car, you have 15 calendar day to collect the vehicles from our compound.

Any extra day will be invoiced 5€ per day per vehicle, and € 10 per LCV or HGV,

VAT policy & release car document

VAT exemption is possible if you intend to export the cars you bought. Please note that only vehicles liable for VAT are indicated as such in the sales catalogue and are affected by the paragraph below (this VAT exemption applies to the total amount of the vehicle, sales and transport fees). Please note that the release of car documents depends of where the car will be exported (see below).

Import inom EU

If you come from a country within the European union, papers of the cars will be sent once the last section of the CMR is stamped by both transporter and customer. Original CMR must be sent at BCA France headquarter address: BCAuto Enchères 5 Rue Charles de Gaulle, 94 140 Alfortville, France. If you need the paper upon collection you will have to pay a VAT deposit (the deposit will be returned upon receipt of the proof of export).

Import outside EU

If you come from a country outside European union, paper of the cars will be kept until confirmation of the customs clearance outside the EEC. To prove it, you must send us EX1 and documents to us within a maximum of 2 months from the date of the sale of the vehicle. Please note that the document must be sent to the following email address: FR.export@bca.com. If you need the paper upon collection you must pay a VAT deposit (the deposit will be returned upon receipt of the proof of export).
