If above 3.5t you pay standard €50 vrt. if its new you must pay vat. Not sure how you go about it but you then claim the original vat back that you paid on the purchase. Your local vrt office can give you all the info you need for this.

If the vehicle weight is over 3000Kgs (not 3500Kgs) VRT is €50
If there is less than 6000Kms or is less than 6 months old vat will be charged in Ireland but Vat paid in Germany can be reclaimed.

New vehicles (New Means of Transport) purchased by a private individual from a VAT-registered person, including a motor dealer, in another country
A 'new means of transport' is a technical term which may be used to describe a motor vehicle that has travelled less than 6,000 km or was supplied less than 6 months since it first entered into service (see full definition). It is important to note that the operative date in determining whether a means of transport comes within the time limits is the date on which it was purchased by the current owner. The distance travelled, however, is calculated by reference to when the vehicle arrives in Ireland.

For example;

If a person purchases a 4-month old car in the U.K., and brings it into Ireland when it is 7 months old, then at the time of supply it was less than 6 months old. Regardless of the distance travelled, this vehicle is a new means of transport, and is liable to Irish VAT.
If a person purchases a 7-month old car in the U.K., which, at the time of supply in the U.K. had travelled only 5,000 kilometres, but had travelled 6001 kilometres in total by the time it arrived in Ireland, the vehicle is not a new means of transport.
Where a private individual purchases a new means of transport from a VAT-registered person in another country it must be registered by the end of the day following the day on which it arrives in Ireland. This must be done at the local VRO office (MS Word, 54KB). The VRT liability can be calculated using the VRT Calculator on the Revenue website. The vehicle is also liable to Irish VAT on registration, and this VAT is payable to the VRO office. The VRT is calculated on the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) of a vehicle, rather than the actual purchase price. The value for calculating VAT is the price charged for the vehicle, converted to Euro where necessary.

If the seller also charged VAT or an equivalent tax on the sale of the vehicle in the other country, then this can normally be reclaimed from the foreign supplier, once the vehicle is registered and VAT has been paid in Ireland. The purchaser must send proof of registration and payment of Irish VAT to the foreign supplier, who will then arrange repayment of the foreign VAT (or equivalent tax) subject to the regulations in that country. However, it is important to note that the refund of VAT from the foreign supplier is subject to the laws and regulations in force in that country, which may differ significantly from the Irish laws. This means that in certain circumstances a person bringing a vehicle into Ireland, and therefore obliged to pay VAT in Ireland, may be unable to obtain a refund of VAT paid in another country. This will result in VAT being paid twice on the same vehicle. It is essential that any person who intends to purchase a new vehicle in another EU country, with the intention of bringing it into Ireland, ensures that he or she will be able to obtain a refund of any VAT paid in the other country, as there is no provision whereby VAT properly charged in Ireland can be refunded to a private individual.

For example, Revenue has been advised that the current position in the U.K. is that a dealer will not refund VAT on a vehicle purchased there and subsequently registered in Ireland -

If, at the time of purchase in the UK, the dealer was not notified that the vehicle was going to be brought out of the country;
If the vehicle was not brought out of the UK within two months of purchase;
If the original invoice shows a UK address for the purchaser.
Similar positions may be held in other EU countries, and details should be obtained from the relevant tax authorities in those countries.
