    10% customs + €200 VRT, or just €200 if NI registered for 3+ months

    Hi Folks,


    I just imported a car today and got the new reg number etc this morning.
    I went to tax it but motortax.ie is not recognising the number plate?
    The number plate is not recognised anywhere at the moment. I suppose there must be a waiting period?

    My worry is the guy gave me the wrong reg number. Or put the wrong reg down on the documents. He didn't really seem like he knew what he was doing. That VRT desk in Greenhills in Dublin I would stay away from. The folks in ballymount are miles better.

    they really don’t.

    They made 4 mistakes when putting this through the VRT. Only for someone that knows what they’re doing to intervene.

    Forgot to post this the other day. I recently VRT’d a mainland UK car that had been registered in NI for 3+ months and I only paid VRT.

    I had NO further proof such as tax, insurance, MOT etc and still only paid VRT.

    The reason for this was because the V5 issue date was 3+ months ago.

    If I was importing a secondhand Tesla built in the Giga Berlin Germany factory does that remove the 10% duty. Thanks. It is a VAT qualifing car so it would be 30000 - Uk VAT @ 20% and then when lands in Ireland + 23% vat is this correct?

    It is a 2024 car built in Tesla Berlin does the VIN not prove it enough?

    I am looking for a car for primary medical cert. Normally buying new is better as you get the full vat and vrt removed. However with the high price of new cars I'd like to explore second hand. I don't think there are many cars down south where you would quality for the waiver of the vat element. What about in the North, would there be a supply of cars that may qualify?

    Hi all, I’ve read through this and online and still can’t figure this out and help or guidance would be really appreciated

    My husband is looking at purchasing a Hilux as someone with more space is needed for jobs around his father’s farm plus day to day stuff but he’s not VAT registered so it would be purchase a commercial vehicle and then tax and insure as private. The price for them here is astronomical…and we started looking at ones in Northern Ireland.

    I checked on Revenue website re the VRT and with VAT paid on the purchase in NI plus exchange rate we’re looking at a saving of roughly €10,000 for same mileage and spec here. 

    What are we missing as I thought these days were long gone since Brexit?

    You can purchase a Hilux in northern Ireland from a dealer and all that is required is you show proof that VAT has been paid in northern Ireland along with paying VRT here.

    As they are dealt with differently from a private vehicle then there's no import duty so you're away with it
