VRT Question

hello, so how does this work, you live in NI and buy a car in the South and re-register it in Northern Ireland, I heard you can claim the VRT back, think you got 30 days, anyone shed some light on this please

I think commercials had tiny VRT of €50 or something, won't be any point.

commercials don't count anyway. the key points are that you hace to register the car down here to claim it back and full get has to have been paid day one. ie some demo, hire cars that ha deferred vrt or disability cars that were exempt, or impoets that ha transder of residence get exemption don't count. it's very hard to find out how much get was actually paid and how

as in you have to be the Irish-registered owner to get vrt back.
