Arval Electric Vehicle Quoting Guide for Government Grants

About this manual

The document explains how to quote electric vehicles in the Arval system while correctly handling the UK government grant for EVs. It warns against double discounting the grant or leaving it out, and notes that the grant is applied in the background and may not be visible on invoice breakdowns after the first revision.

Two examples illustrate standard Arval pricing and scenarios with additional dealer discounts. In both cases, the dealer invoice OTR is lower than the Arval OTR by the grant value (£3,000), and VAT must match the Arval quote. A summary checklist reminds staff to verify grant eligibility, confirm dealer OTR is less by the grant amount, check VAT alignment, and ensure additional discounts are correctly applied.

Frequently asked questions

How do you know if your vehicle is eligible for a government grant?

Check the government website for eligible vehicles and grant levels, and confirm with the dealer that the grant applies and the value is correct.

What should you check before proceeding to order or deliver a vehicle when quoting a government grant applicable vehicle?

You must check that the pricing correctly matches what the dealer will be invoicing, including the grant.

What does the invoice breakdown show on revision one of a quote for a government grant applicable vehicle?

On revision one, the invoice breakdown will show the wording “Government Grant.”

Should the dealer VAT on the invoice match the Arval invoice breakdown?

Yes. The dealer VAT amount should always equal the Arval invoice breakdown because the grant is non-VATable.
