Is the NOx tax just for passenger cars?
Does the new NOx tax apply only to private passenger vehicles, as I am importing an N1 commercial vehicle and may not get it done before January 1st?

Should I wait to import a 2018 car?
Hi, I have bought a 2018 car in the UK and am wondering would I save a lot on VRT if I wait until the beginning of January to bring it in rather than mid December as the car will be a year older then.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Costs to import a 2012 Kia Soul?
I am considering buying a car with English registration, It is a 2012 Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi 2 five-door automatic diesel with almost 40,000 miles on the clock. I would like to know (1) the cost of Irish registration and (2) what tax band would it come under, and the annual cost of motor tax.
Thank you
Mary

Will I avoid the NOx levy if I import now?
Hi,
I'm thinking of importing my 2005 Audi diesel to Ireland to leave at my parents' house. If I do this before 1/1/2020 will I be outside the new NOx levy or will I still have to pay it?

Do I have to pay unpaid VRT on this car?
Hi,
I have a good deal on a car, but it has imported from Northern Ireland in the summer. The seller says he didn't have the money to pay for the VRT etc. at the time of his appointment so never went through with the proper paperwork etc. If I buy the car and the Northern Irish owner writes me a new contract, will I have to pay the overdue charges?

How do I sort out my imported car?
Hi,
I have imported my car from England. I have been given the VRT exemption. But upon registration, they cannot find my vehicle model and cannot complete the process. Are there any direct contacts so I can query this as I am not expecting to hear from them as they advised?
