    If I bring an Irish car (Roscommon Reg) to the Uk and change it to UK reg. Then Two years later return to Ireland and change reg back to Irish. Will I have to pay the Irish VRT on the car even though it has registered in Ireland before. Also what are chances of getting the original Reg back.

    I think you'll have to re-VRT it, but not 100% on that.

    Your reg may be gone and reassigned to first imported vehicle of same year of manufacturing into ownership by a person in your county. You might get lucky in that regard.

    No, you dont pay VRT twice on the same car.

    +1 - Ste is correct.
    VRT is payable on a car once only in its life.
    Re; the reg, you can ask for it back but they may charge you for that if its available that is.

    Indeed you won't pay VRT again. I'm not sure if you can get the original registration back...

    You may (as in will) need a certificate of conformity to register the car in the UK by the way. There won't be a problen re-importing the car however and you won't have to re VRT the car.

    I did this before and the CRO hadn'd wiped my car when I exported it so I even got my original reg back.

    am gonna pay it tomorrow anyways regardless (wont miss it cos i planned it ito the price of the car anyways) am just curious more so than anything

    No VRT, and you will get the original registration.

    Personally i'd wait until the new year as the car will be a year older so the VRT will drop. I know its not the totally legal way of doing it but its not like you're going to be driving a foreign reg'd car around for months on end. Simply wait a couple of weeks (avoid undue attention from the garda, essential trips only etc) and VRT it then.

    Probably gonna get slammed for saying that now :rolleyes:

    No need to wait until the 14th though - the OMSP will reduce on 1st January.

    Kilasser,

    If you go to the UK for two years you will be entitled to bring back a car from the UK on a transfer of residence basis,provided you have owned it for six months over there. This will be free of VRt.

    I think the only exception to this rule is if you are going there as a student.

    So I would advise selling your Irish car and buying another in the UK.
    regards, Rugbyman

    Esel,
    Does the vrt list change with the New Year. It should do,but I think not.
