This discussion clarifies the rules for accepting cash payments when selling a commercial vehicle as a goods transport agent. Generally, you can accept up to £200,000 in cash for a single transaction. For amounts exceeding this limit, or if the buyer prefers, alternative payment methods like demand drafts or cheques should be used. Instalment payments in cash are not permitted for the transaction.
