importing

Do I have to pay motor tax in the UK when I am importing a car?

Hi, I bought a new Ford Galaxy last August in the UK with less than 6,000km on it and paid VAT in the UK. I have also paid VAT and VRT in Ireland. How can I claim back the UK VAT as I'm VAT-registered in Ireland?

Thanks John

Hi,

I'm thinking of purchasing a Kia cee'd from the UK and the only information I have is that it is a 2010 model with 36,000 miles on the clock and will be five years old this coming December. Could you please give me some sort of idea regards the VRT I would have to pay to bring it into R.O.I?

In 1991 the re-reg block of numbers in Dublin began with what number? My bike might be imported.

Hi, I am considering buying a Ford Mondeo 1.6 from a private garage. It is high spec, 2012, but an English import. I would appreciate your advice regarding English imports and should I get the car checked by a mechanic?

I'm thinking of buying a 2009 Vauxhall Insignia diesel 2.0-litre, a UK import. Having read about the Service Update from Opel that relates to 2009 diesel Opel Insignias re: power pressure pipes that may crack and leak... should I be worried?

Is 82,000 miles a lot on a 2011 Ford Focus 1.6? It's an English car and the SD card that comes with the Focus has English maps - how do you change to Irish maps? What would be the value of this car?

Thank you.

Hello, how much VRT would there be on a car from the UK costing £8,500 with emmissions of 154g/km?

What are the resale values of Japanese imports like?

I am looking at a British imported car, 2011 registered. Can you tell me how many cars were registered in Dublin in 2011?
