    I see a few posts on here about New vehicles, but we have bought a '05 Citroen Dispatch in Belfast as a second Animal Ambulance. Can anyone tell me what we do next please and how much it costs. Thanks

    Without meaning to sound smart, how did you know it was more worthwhile buying up north without reasearching costs and comparing prices?

    You'll have to take it to your local VRO and have it registered. Google vehicle registration offices , the frist link is a list of the offices.

    If it's a 2 or 3 seater van then it's €50 VRT.

    If the van has been adapted to carry more than 3 people then it could be considerable.

    you should get it re-registered (and pay the VRT) within the next working day, but the VRT office will not penalise you if you take a bit longer... The customs patrols however are a different matter !

    That doesn't appear to be the case, if you don't know how to VRT it.

    I assume you know but the UK MOT is'nt recognised here, it'll have to be doe'd before it can be taxed.
