Do I pay VAT on importing a 2012 UK car?
I am looking at a car in the UK and I was given a VRT rate of €4,855. Do I also have to to pay VAT, or is the VRT inclusive? The price of the car is £11,490 for a 2012 model.

Thinking of importing an American car...
Hi,
I am thinking about purchasing a US car that has just been registered in the UK. The car in question meets the UK IVA standards and passed all tests. The lights have also been adjusted to meet EU standards. I have two questions:
1. Is the IVA test good enough (the car hasn't really been driven much in the UK and looks to have all documents in check) or should I fork out for an independent test. Trying to minimize my spend as I will need it for VRT.
2. How much will VRT be on a 2014 5.7-litre?
Many thanks
Derek

Does the Irish car industry care about VRT?
Hi,
Do Irish car importers actively lobby the government concerning VRT or does this arrangement actually suit them as some form of protectionism? I realise that VRT denies the Irish consumer choice/ranging/specification and all at higher prices than elsewhere in Europe, but was shocked to read that new cars being imported into Ireland are not being 'offered' with hi-tech safety features as standard (presumably standard in other markets?) because the VRT and VAT added on these safety features makes the cars too expensive!
