    Thanks paddyp, If we assume that they had owned the cars for a reasonable length of time (this is why I was looking for someone that had done this themselves so that we could get first hand info.)that appears to show that there's no VRT or import duty charged in the U.K.

    Really we're looking for ways to buy, import into here and yet avoid, NOT EVADE, paying VRT.

    I have no great point to make just that someone mentioned an Aclass Hymer and that was what I just traded in in Germany to Hymer.

    Have a look at this.

    That's fine. The person has owned the car for over a certain length of time.
    He took it out of the country and he is bringing it back.

    Different scenario from the original question asked, and trying to be answered, in this thread.

    What a shame that you couldn't sell it here. It would have saved someone having to worry about VRT.

    Someone can buy it and not pay VRT. They just have to get a flight out and drive it back.

    If you still don't believe that VRT is only paid once in Ireland contact revenue and ask.

    Any vrt previously paid is taken into account as its unlikely that a vehicle has increased in value you wouldn't pay anything.

    I just bought a camper in Northern Ireland. The van was taken as a trade in by the seller in NI last august He intended to keep it but was unable to register it to himself as he was not resident in the state. Before buying it I contacted the vehicle registration people in shannon and told them the situation. They said there would be no problem bringing it back, just send them the VRC and a covering letter and they'd sort it out. Drove it home today. I'll be on here shortly looking for advice on how to sort out a few technical issues with the boiler and control unit:).

    Hi snailsong, all the best with your new purchase.

    This answers part of the question that we've been talking about. At least from the North as long as the vehicle has not had a country registration change there are no problems bringing it back home.

    Mr Sunchaser, Rather than speaking in hypothetical terms. Please list where we can find those give away campers?
    Say a 1995 sleeps 4 camper. Then your comments could make sense.
    Looking forward to real information.

    I think you should have a look at when that thread was started. It was two years ago. You are a bit late with your sarky comment.
