thanks stekelly for the link.

827 is a bit steep. the fact that i'll be registering the car here in the new year, will that entitle me to the new tax rates???

If it's a 2008 car yes you get the new rates, if the car is older than this it's the old cc based rates.

ok. 827 is expensive. i might have to reconsider. S40 maybe.

I'd imagine it would cost a bit more than the difference in motor tax rtates to relocate to the north.

errr...

correct me if im wrong (which i probably am)... but i did a bit of research into this.

doesnt it say that if you register a car in Ireland after a certain date that you will be using the co2 tax system - so if you register a 2005 today you will be paying the new tax system ?

No, no it does not.

That was a very dismissive reply and to be honest didnt convince me - so i did the research.

And stekellys reply is correct. cars registered before 1 jan 2008 are on the old tax system

Well if thats the way you want totake it then fair enough.

Anyway, theres been mountains of threads dealing with the issues on here dating back to when the new system was announced. It's actually a very simple system and sall the info isreadily aailable in various places.

If you look at the top of the main page, you'll see a thread at the top entitled:

Motors Charter & FAQs - Read before going further.

Within, you will see:

Research your question. Many questions on driving tests, licences, penalty points, etc. have been asked and answered many, many, many times before

Some Common Questions Are Likely To Be Answered In These:

* New motor tax and VRT regime. Links + calculations

It's all there, including examples.

This is perhaps why Stekelly was a little dismissive of your question.;)

samhail

i apologise for trying to help, and learning something in the progress so.

Thats not what the OP said at all.
"To hell with Irish businesses why dont we all just do our shopping in the UK " is what you said. Noone else.
The OP has a very good reason for buying a car in the UK. We all know what it is.
Go figure.

i dont think its necessary to give figures...your just being pedantic in fairness.

granted its not helping the economy, but why should we line the pockets of certain industrys that have been creaming it for years. people are finally saying no and want value for money. we just cant afford it anymore.

To be fair be it the motor industry or any other for that matter much of the problem is the high tax rates in this country particuarly in the motor industry as much as 66% of the retail price of a high end car in this country is constituted by tax in one form or another so why not demand that the gov take some action. Because of our penal and high tax rates on cars be it VRT Vat customs excise etc we actually have the lowest base price cars in the EU and were a VRT refund system to exist the importation route would be reversed.No point in blaming industries give your local TD a good kicking next time he comes a knocking . They dont even have the back bone to admit the VAT increase was a mistake given that the UK have reduced theirs they are too thickj and stubborn to be seen to do a U turn !

jon1981

ok i take your point, but i think the only people that can put pressure on the government to change this is are SIMI and the motor industry in general. they are the victims in all this with job losses and business shutting down. its win win for the consumer in the short term but most likely damaging to the economy in the medium term. if the government are to reduce VRT or remove it they are only going to have to make up the difference in tax elsewhere...maybe on petrol... i for one would like to see a tax thats not linked to the price of the car... as i said on petrol/Diesel.
