Re-Registering car back in Ireland

antoswords · 2012-04-03 11:40:41

Hi Chaps! I'm importing a car from the UK in a couple of weeks, now it was originally an Irish car so I assume I will not have to pay VRT as it would have been paid on first registration. What do I need to do to get it back on Irish plates? Can I just rock up to a NCTS centre? Anyone ever done this? Cheers in advance A.

Put on the original Irish reg. plates, insure it, if it's out of Irish tax get RF1OO witnessed at a Garda stn. .If due it's Nct apply for one, drive away.

You have to re-register it as its currently documented as exported.

You are VRT exempt as the car already had its VRT paid when first registered in the state, but there may be a small processing fee.

Is it just a matter of calling into the NCTS and letting them sort it, or do I call the motor tax office?
