    Daughter wants a bike from Santa approx 190euro.

    Same bike on Amazon.co.uk for 102euro delivered. I know I may have to pay vat giving a price of 122euro.

    Does anyone know if I have to pay import duty and if so how much?

    If this is the wrong forum please feel free to move.

    And that Irish VAT rate goes into the UK revenue coffers?

    No the Irish ones. Amazon is VAT registered in the Republic for people who buy from here.

    Just get it direct from Santa. He pays for it himself and ships for free.
