    can anyone tell me, how i can claim back vat on a camper that was bought abroad?

    ie, advertisements say: vat can be claimed back @ 19% etc

    Discussed here briefly a couple of months ago. Don't know if there was a conclusion, Mabey Wonderworm might be able to clarify

    Have you bought the van already?
    If not, ask the seller how it is done.

    Hl joyce2008,I looked into this when I was thinking of buying from Germany,as far I could get the info out of the obnoxious,gum chewing ,no please or thankyou,snotty little civil servant in the revenue office,it works like so:-


    you buy your van abroad,pay local vat

    import to Ireland,pay vrt plus Irish vat

    claim back vat from country bought from.......

    most complex and costly ,thats one reason i didn't buy new in the end.


    Hopefully someones who's actually done it may be able to give exact details..good luck
