VRT and tax on imported Toyota Hilux?

Hi,

I am relocating to Ireland (Co Cork) and I have purchased a Toyota Hilux pick up truck, but I am confused as to the rates of VRT. I will be starting a dog kennels business and using the truck for the business. Do I qualify for the €333 tax or is it something different? Car is a 67 plate bought in the UK, VAT paid, 2.2-litre automatic with 21,000 miles on the clock.

I really appreciate your help as it is very confusing on the Revenue website.

Many thanks

Mark

I would like to buy a Volkswagen Transporter in the UK. Long wheelbase, 2014, 230k miles. I would like to know the VRT I would need to pay for this in Ireland but the Revenue system does not list this very common vehicle.

Can I avoid a late VRT payment fee?

Hi there,

I recently bought a new car at a British auction without V5c. Had to send a V62 form and pay £25 for new logbook. Due to COVID it has taken DVLA longer than usual to reissue the logbook. If I present the proof such as the date the last logbook has been issued, will I avoid paying late VRT payment?

How to work out VRT on a 2018 BMW 320d?

Hi, I just read your article on VRT charges on imported cars from the UK. I am thinking of buying a 2018 BMW 3 Series 2.0 320d M Sport. How does the VRT work? I got one quote for €23k for VRT, and then I did another one and it was €6,700. Can you help me find out how much I'm going to pay for VRT?

Kind regards
