Hi, How does VRT work if you live in England, do you have to live in Ireland, or does the car have to be in Ireland, for a year before you can sell it? Cheers!

You need to own it for 6 months while living outside Ireland and have documentation to support this. You then cant sell the car for 1 year from the time you import it.

As above.

IMO if you do happen to be working overseas for a period of time then it is a great idea to import.

At the very least you might get a year or two of depreciation free motoring and at best make a nice profit.

Yes & Yes (I'm afraid).
Still imo worth it.
