Reckon this Honda will be VAT-free on importation?
Hi,
I am possibly going to try import a 242 Honda CR-V from a dealer in Belfast. It's a July 2024 car and has 20,000km on it. They gave me the V5 logbook and a TSS form. Do you think Revenue will accept this so it will be exempt from VAT and import duty?

How much to tax a Ford Ranger 2.0 privately?
I'm thinking of buying a Ford Ranger Wildtrak (2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel, 205hp, 10-speed automatic).
I would like to know what it costs to tax this privately. I know if you have a VAT number or herd number it's €333. I have been to three different Ford garages and got three different answers.
a) It falls into tax band with CO2 of 171-190g/km, which is €790 a year;
b) It falls into 191-225g/km, which is €1,250 a year and;
c) It has a 2.0-litre engine which costs €710 a year to tax
Can you confirm please?
