Hi, I'm VAT-registered and looking to import a second hand commercial/crewcab vehicle from the UK. Am I correct that I don't have to pay UK VAT and only VRT when registering the car in Ireland?
Thanks
Thinking of buying a classic American car, but don't know what I'm doing or where to have it looked after. I'm in North London.
Is it cheaper to import a new or second hand car from Northern Ireland?
Thinking of importing a MINI Cooper from the UK. What are the main things to look out for, known MINI problems etc? The car will be in the region of 2005 to 2008 in age. Will there be much difference in the spec of an English car compaired to the Irish car?
Thanking you
Seriously thinking of buying a 2016 Audi A6 in U.K. For lots of reasons, money saving been the main factor. If I buy from a main dealer on a relatively new car will I have a warranty? Also, should I haggle on displayed priced cars? Any help appreciated.
Hello,
Can I ask for some advice please? My girlfriend is a German national who has come to live in Ireland. She wants to sell her car here in Ireland. The car in question is a 2011 Nissan Qashqai - very good spec with a petrol engine. There is a Moldovian national who is interested in buying this car, but we are concerned that the car will not be registered in Moldova and we are aware that a lot of German cars are in Moldova on German plates.
Any help or advice would be appreciated .
Warmest regards
Michael Roche
I am from Cyprus and I intend to buy a three-year-old used car that is "VAT qualifying" and worth €18,000. The car I'll import from Cyprus.
Please explain the VAT procedure
I swapped my old van and SUV for an 09 Hyundai Coupe on NI plates and I filled out the log book when I bought it and sent it away to Swansea like it said on it. They have sent it back saying that I need to sort out the log book over in Ireland. Where do I go to do something like that?
Any recommendations on buying from a private seller in the UK?
Thanks
