    Don't pay it in the first place. Nobody's forcing you to buy a new car.

    Didn't know trolls could drive anyway.

    Depends on your circumstances:

    A. Its not Illegal

    B. If you owned the car your importing while you were resident (working and living, with residency status) for 6 months in another country, then you can apply for a refund as you shouldn't have needed to pay the tax in the first place.

    What edjit came up with this idea that VRT was illegal ?

    C. Your a disabled driver. Terms and conditions apply of course :) Car must be less than 2000CC ....MAX VRT and VAT you can claim back is €9750 and you can only make one claim every 2 years.
