    Hi, Can anyone give me advice on importing a classic car from the UK. Its an Italian make and about 40 years old, worth £6,000. I will go to collect it in the uk and bring it back to Ireland. My question is, do i have to pay an import tax when i arrive at the port in Ireland and do i have to pay VAT in Ireland? If so how much? Secondly, what is the registration process (does it need vrt, nct?)?

    Thank You

    The VRT will be a flat rate of €200 as it’s over 30 years old. As it’s over 40, it was been NCT exempt.

    As for the customs and VAT, I’m not sure since Brexit. There are a few older threads here from the last few months that might be helpful to browse on that.

    Best of luck with the new motor!

    Cui bono?

    It's the "normal" 23% vat rate, no duty as the car is over 30.
