    Can anyone help me in relation to VRT. I'm thinking of buying a car up North and when I went to the VRT calculator on the Revenue website I thought the VRT seemed very high in comparison to the price of the car.

    I was looking at a Volvo S40 1.6 Diesel 2006 or a

    2006 Ford Mondeo 2.0 Diesel

    Anyone any ideas what the VRT would be approximately on both cars. I saw them on the usedcarsni.com website.

    Pretty much whatever it says on VRT calculator. Make sure you have the spec right. It would be an idea to call the seller and ask what the CO2 figure is on the car, this will be on the V5 form, make sure this matches what you are selecing on the calculator, the lower the CO2 the lower the VRT.

    VRT has nothing to do with how much you buy the car for, it is a percentage of the Open Maret Selling Price (OMSP) in this country as assessed by the Revenue Comissioners. If you think their OMSP is incorrect, you can appeal it with supporting information such as copies of adverts for similar cars for sale here, but you have to pay the VRT before you can appeal it.

    Can you appeal the OMSP even if you have no reason to do so? As in, if you see a particular OSMP is far too low, can you notify them even if you aren't bringing a car into the country?

    Because surely the OSMP can affect your insurance if you were to make a claim?

    AFAIK No.

    OMSP has nothing to do with the book value of your vehicle. Book value is what the insurance companies pay, and that's lower then most people think their cars are worth.
