importing

Hi,

My daughter lives/works in Maynooth but goes to the North occasionally for work. She wants to buy a Volkswagen Polo from the North (cheaper obviously) and use it mostly in the Republic. She is from the UK (Kent) and has residency to work/pay taxes etc. Will she need to import it?

I paid a deposit on a 2024 electric car in Northern Ireland. The car is being sold by a motor garage, registered in June 2024 with 2,600 miles on the clock. I am now worried I will be charged VAT  in Ireland as the car was a demonstration model with the garage.

I have tried to get an answer with Revenue, and they have said it is decided on a case-by-case basis. I do not know what to do now.

Do you know if i will be charged?

Hi,

I'm looking at buying a Mercedes Sprinter panel van from Northern Irelan.  I've been told it's a flat rate of €200 for VRT in the South for one of these but that doesn't look like that in your article unless I'm confused. Could you please clarify?

Also do you know exactly what documents are needed if it's coming from a company? They are a servicing company for a supermarket so I'm not sure if they would have access to official import customs information regarding me avoiding paying additional VAT.

The van has been registered in the north since 2018 and never returned to England since.

Thanks

Hi

I'm looking to import a 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet from Northern Ireland into the Republic but on the Revenue VRT website there's no mention of the convertible model.

What do I need to calculate the exact VRT I would pay? Also, how can I find what the NOx emissions are for this specific make/model car as this also affects the VRT calculation?

Thanks for your help

Please can you help/advise?

Thanking you in advance for your assistance

Hello,

I want to import an electric SUV worth £26,500 from NI with a UK registration. It is 2022 model. What extra charges will I have to pay? Do I have to VAT at 23 per cent? If I was to bring it in from the UK, what charges would I have to pay?

I am privately buying a car from Northern Ireland registered in 2019. I understand the VRT but have no idea how and where to do custom duty to bring it across the border. Can you advise on this please?

Thanks so much.

Hi,

I am looking to import a Defender 110 from Northern Ireland, cost is £32,000. It's a 2015 and has 38,000 miles on the clock. And it's not a commercial vehicle. What charges would I expect to pay VRT etc. and what would I pay in tax, as it's a 2.2L diesel.

Many thanks

If I were to import a 2018 Peugeot 308 from Northern Ireland, would I have to pay VAT and/or customs duty? Have looked at several websites but can't get a clear picture. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,

I'm buying a used salvage Volvo car from Northern Ireland and there's a 20 per cent VAT charge levied upon the sale. Will there be any other charges that I should be aware of when transporting the car to the UK?
