Is it possible to pay VRT monthly ?

IMC042

Im thinking of buying a car from the North and I wanted to know if the irish tax f**kers would rob you over a period of time instead of in one go for VRT?

sean1141

wouldn't think so

No! Three months minimum! You can get a refund on it though if you dont use it for the full period!

No, they demand payment in full upon registration.

Thats just ridiculous. I cant afford it all in one go!! :mad:

Why should they? If I buy a new car from a dealer in ireland, I have to pay all the vrt straight up. People who import seem to believe that this is a tax not paid by everyone else. If you cannot afford the vrt, you should buy a cheaper car.

Sorry to point out the blatantly obvious, but then you cant afford the car!!

If your car cost you 5k, and the VRT is 2k, and you only have 6k, then you just cant afford the car.

If you were buying a car for 7k in ireland would you ask the seller to let you pay the last 2k monthly?

Actually I can afford the car, I cant afford the Vehicle Registration Tax. I'll have to find an Irish car at a good price instead.

The VRT is inherent in having the car, you can't afford the car.

Yes you can afford the car ..... as long as you dont wish to drive it in Ireland!
Its amazing, you have no problem with VRT on the irish model? After all, the market price of the irish car comes about due to vrt being paid and that is equally filtering down to you to some degree. Just cause you are not giving it to the revenue people directly(You are instead paying some back to the guy who originally paid the revenue), you have no problem.

I just think its overpriced and wanted to know if there was a way to pay it in installments. No need for the hostility and the stupid talk.

Well, if you had come back acknowledging that yes the car (on the road here) was over budget, you might have got less hostile reply. Instead you came back saying that you can afford the car. You must realise that this winds up every person here who owns a car with an Irish plate on it.

I can just imagine you saying.... Sure it will go without it.:p

Get a personal loan for the VRT amount and you could probably pay it over 24 months! Or you could save a bit of cash and have it up front.

You can also appeal the VRT amount if you feel that the OMSP they're using is too high.

You have to pay it first, then appeal; which is a bit hard when you don't have the money to do so.

Good advice, and an example of a constructive comment! :P

...good luck with that: talked to a bank lately ??

Its all in the head really.

I.E. You buy a new car in Ireland, your paying VRT.
You buy a car in the UK you have to pay VRT, except your paying it straight to the tax man

If you cannot afford it ex VRT, you cannot afford the car.

Its like buying a house with no windows.

No need for the hostility and the stupid talk.

This would be more credible if you hadn't started off by describing those who collect tax as "irish tax f**kers (who) would rob you", especially when you are posting elsewhere on Boards demanding that the State give you a grant. How exactly do you think that your education is to be paid for, if taxes are not collected?

The OP has been answered, I don't see this thread going anywhere good so I'll just box it off here
