VRT on a converted commercial vehicle?
Hi there,
I am thinking of importing a car that has been modified to become a First Call Hearse/Private Ambulance. What charges would this incur, and will it fit into the VRT category of a hearse or otherwise?
Thank you for your time.

Are these VRT estimates on a Transit Custom right?!
Hello,
I am looking to buy a family nine-seater like the Ford Tourneo Custom in NI. Unfortunately, Revenue's VRT calculator can't find anything from the years I've searched (2018, 2019, 2020), giving me a "No vehicle found for combination selected" error.
I tried vrt.ie, but it's giving me very high estimates. Could they be true?
For example, for a Feb 2019 Ford Tourneo Custom 2.0 EcoBlue 130hp Titanium, asking price £20,000, it came out at €16,493.48 CO2 (WTLP CO2 emissions: 215.867g/km, which seems crazy?) and €2,625 NOx charge.
For another specimen, a Jan 2020 Ford Tourneo 2.0 EcoBlue 130hp Titanium, they came at €8,979.6 CO2 (WTLP CO2 emissions: 164g/km) and €2,625 NOx.
Are these estimations even realistic? NOx is most certainly not right, but even the CO2 part seems excessive. But it's my first rodeo, so I really don't know! I would be very grateful for any clues.

Are VRT rates the same for Northern Irish cars?
Hi,
Looking at buying a 2003 MINI Cooper S. My online VRT calculation is saying the VRT rate is 41 per cent of OMSP due to the CO2 rate. The car is Northern Irish; is it still the same 41 per cent rate for Northern Irish cars?

Is the WLTP CO2 figure needed for VRT calculation?
When calculating VRT is the band rate what you pay at the WLTP CO2 rate or the CO2 that is on the V5?

Is it worth importing a 2009 Saab 9-3 diesel?
Hi,
I want to know how much VRT I would have to pay on a 2009 Saab 9-3 1.9 diesel. When I try and do it on the VRT website it doesn’t give me the option of that actual model. Don’t want to buy it if the duty is going to end up costing me too much and then the car won’t be worth the money then.
Thanks

Is this VRT calculation correct on a Maserati from the North?
If the car from Northern Ireland is €15,000 and I have to pay 41 per cent open market value in VRT, that makes it €21,000 - is that correct?
Thanks very much
