If I have imported a car from the UK on 29th Dec and booked online at the NCT centre but the inspection date is not until 12th Jan 2021, am I entitled to pay the old VRT rate? It's not my fault the centre is unable to look at my car until after the 31st Dec deadline.

I live in the Northern Ireland. If I buy a new car from a dealer in the Republic, can I claim back the VRT and pay UK import duties? Would this be financially wise?

I'm VRT exempt so would it be worth my while importing a nearly new car from UK?

What is the NOx value for a 2017 Skoda Kodiaq with CO2 value of 151g/km? It's the 2.0-litre TDI 190 4x4 SEL seven-seater with the DSG automatic gearbox.

Can you avoid VRT by getting someone about to die in another country to buy it and leave it to you in their will? A bit cold but could be an option?

Hi Shane,
I’m completely confused by the new VRT changes! If I was to look at import of a 201 used car, will VRT be calculated off the WLTP figures, or CO2. Also, will motor tax be based off the WLTP or CO2 figures. I ask in the context of a 1.5 TSI DSG Tiguan with these specs: CO2 133g/km, WLTP CO2 168g/km.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

If I buy a 'CAT S' damaged, but repaired car from the UK is the VRT cheaper on it because it is below market value?
