Is the VRT calculator not working or just me?

tea and coffee · 29-01-2018 10:55am #1

I keep getting a time out message the last 2 days- asking me to log in to ROS (no thanks, you're grand).... somewhere in my meandering search for a car, I managed to work out that the VRT on a hybrid was only 1600 for the same make and model in diesel was nearly double. I just wanted to check if this was correct or if I had been dreaming (possible)

CO2 has some bearing on the VRT amount, so yeah it's possible alright

tea and coffee · 29-01-2018 11:01am

It seems to be only a %age or 2 though. From their chart it looks like 14% of OMSP for a hybrid and 16% for the diesel. And the Hybrid is dearer than the Diesel on the open market.

Are you able to get on to the calculator? I'm still not.

BArra · 29-01-2018 11:07am

I tried yesterday and could not

UnknownSpecies · 29-01-2018 11:07am

VRT site has been down since Saturday. Also need to check for something I'm hopefully bringing in soon

Is the motor check Vrt calculation accurate?

bazz26 · 29-01-2018 4:23pm

It's an estimate. It can be correct but can also be + and -. It also doesn't take into account factory extras on premium brands.

Not just you. Been broken since Saturday. Guy in another thread said he sent them an email to report it so now we wait.

irish bloke · 29-01-2018 7:33pm

Same for me. Tried it on 3 separate devices in the last 24 hours and no joy

Atlantic Dawn · 29-01-2018 7:44pm

Yes tried it yesterday wasn't working.

michellie · 29-01-2018 7:45pm

Revenue went down Saturday for maintenance. Should be fixed soon.

Still down as of 2 mins ago.

bazz26 · 30-01-2018 9:43am

Something obviously went pear shaped at the weekend during their maintenance window that service hasn't been restored two days into the working week.

mickdw · 30-01-2018 9:47am

It's still gone this morning.
No advice re when it will be back.

michellie · 30-01-2018 4:46pm

It's back in action now

mgbgt1978 · 30-01-2018 8:48pm

....and still not back.

UnknownSpecies · 30-01-2018 8:52pm

Back for me

mgbgt1978 · 30-01-2018 8:55pm

Still getting the 'timed out' message. Typical. Just when I am genuinely searching for a Car......instead of just dreaming.

bazz26 · 30-01-2018 8:57pm

Working for me now.

mgbgt1978 · 30-01-2018 8:59pm

Nope. Still nothing.
It's like a Power Cut, and I'm the last in the country to be reconnected

this has to be a mistake on the site? 15% of 18000 euro is not €1500.
would thye honor the print out or would they calculate from scratch.

its less than half the vrt for a similar diesel

Google 'repayment or Remission of VRT for Hybrid'. Essentially an offset that gives the quoted figure.

The VRT is reduced by €1200 for a hybrid between 2-3 years old, so your 15% is 2709 and becomes just 1509 after the reduction.
