    Hi all

    Title should read:

    VRT. Does the Year registered for VRT make a difference?

    I had a look at the sticky, but requesting a bit of further info.

    I'm about to purchase a UK import and will reg for VRT. I am unofficially told it will be €1,300 before 31st December and €1,000 in 2018.

    Is there any way legally to avoid having to pay an extra €300 for having if registered in 2017? It's a bit irksome when it will be €300 less 6 weeks later.

    Or do I just have to take this on the chin?

    Thanks

    They factor in depreciation into the Open Market Selling Price of the car which VRT is a percentage of. They adjust the Open Market Selling Price on a monthly basis afaik. Why not just buy the car in January if you don't want to pay €300 now or wait another 6 or 12 months and it will be cheaper again because it's a year older? Once the car is brought into the country you have 30 days to register and VRT it.

    If you think the Open Market Selling Price is too high and you can find a similar car here for cheaper, it's worth going through the VRT appeal process.
