What the petition asks
British registered vessels that originated in the UK and have paid VAT in British ownership at time of leaving the EU should keep their VAT paid status indefinitely and not be recharged on return to home waters by HMRC.
Because it is most unfair to charge people like myself twice. Total injustice. Even the EU accepts the vessel is vat paid, so why does the UK not? This is just totally unfair.
