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 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
