    You have to pay both:

    Because it's brandnew it will be subject to VAT in Ireland, so try to get your VAT back in the UK before you export it, makes things easier.

    You also have to pay VRT, but as it is over 3 tons, that will only be 50 Euro :D

    Swing that past me again

    Do you know where it is written in black and white that more than 3 tonnes is only 50 euros VAT

    That makes buying a humungious big car that has weight of 3 tonnes plus possibly cheaper than buying a ligther weight car with that logic

    I think I will look to buy the biggest heaviest Amercan SUV I can find:D

    A class B licence best I know is limited to 3500KG 3.5 tons all up weight including any attached trailers

    The water and fuel and extras you carry in the tanks could put you over that limit and then you need a trick driving licence class c to drive the van in the EU

    Some countrys car licence is limited to 1 tonne
