Huge money to import it (massive VRT bill this year if you manage to bring it in on time, otherwise massive VAT bill next year) If I were the owner, I'd bring it back to the UK very quickly or start sweating profusely. Don't know how long he's had it, but that was a very silly buy to bring it over here

unkel wrote: » He'll have to pay VAT and import duty bringing it back over there too next month Car was MOTd earlier this year, so the owner didn't bring it in that long ago. What a foolish thing to do though. Unless of course he reckoned he could find someone over here to offload it to. I guess someone like that was born every day...

unkel wrote: » Haha, do you really want me to answer that? Of course if he pretends he never imported it into Ireland (or exported it again to the UK), then he is not going to pay any taxes and he will very likely get away with it. Unless stopped by an inquisitive customs officer of course.

And you would have no problem producing utility bills, bank statements, tax records, salary slips etc. in your name with a UK address? Like I said, you'd probably get away with it. Until you come across someone stopping you and asking some questions...

marcos_94 wrote: » Does it not depend on how the previous change of ownership went? In this situation, if the current owner/seller bought the car in the UK to bring into Ireland, then the V5C would have been marked as being for export, so it would show up as exported on the system
Lurching wrote: » If this is the case, then I consider myself educated! Does that mean you don't get a replacement V5C issued in your name? Do they issue a different document that you bring to the NCT centre here to clear it?
marcos_94 wrote: » So when I brought my M3 in from the UK a few months ago, I kept the full V5C minus a section which the seller sent off to the DVLA marking it for export. So the V5C I had was in the sellers name. You bring the V5C to the NCT centre during the VRT appointment and then after paying VRT and paying for road tax, you get your Irish logbook. I just checked the old UK reg numebr and you can see its marked for export in the attached image
