    Ok so this has so many threads but i've read a lot and still cant find answers.

    Bought a car in NI. The v5 exportation form has my Irish address.

    Question 1 : Can I tax this in Northern Ireland?

    Question 2 : If I have a NI license would customs let me go. (If so does this require having NI tax and insurance)

    Question 3 : If stopped at Garda checkpoint can a Garda fine me or is it only custom officers.

    Question 4 : Am I allowed to have my rear plate a white coloured NI reg instead of a yellow coloured.

    No, because you dont have a UK address.
    Question 2 : If I have a NI license would customs let me go. (If so does this require having NI tax and insurance)

    No, because residency is nothing to do with where your license is from.
    Question 3 : If stopped at Garda checkpoint can a Garda fine me or is it only custom officers.

    He can fine you for speeding or whatever, but he/she would have to notify Customs for VRT evasion.
    Question 4 : Am I allowed to have my rear plate a white coloured NI reg instead of a yellow coloured.

    Why ???

    Actually what would happen if I told them at the VRT office that it was manual instead of auto?

    You'll have to give them the VIN, and they'll check.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Your car must be very, very new, or very very expensive for that to be right.

    Give us some info on what it is - that doesn't sound right.

    The heavier fuel consumption on the auto version can bump up the Co2 rating which pushes the car into a higher VRT bracket. There might not be huge difference in fuel economy between the manual and auto but just enough to move it into a different VRT bracket.

    That and the OMSP could also be increased for being an auto.

    All 4 questions are: "Can I break the law?"

    Unfortunately not without getting into trouble:(

    Not always but sometimes (sorry not much help), we brought some commercials in and had a wanker check everything on the list, I mean everything.

    Given the current deficit in the Exchequer you can bet your bottom dollar they will try and get every penny out of you.
