Can I import my own car VRT-free?
Hi guys,
I own a property in the UK as well as buying a house here and now work here. I want to import my car from the UK. Am I right in thinking, that if I have owned the car for more than six months, have current UK insurance/tax/MOT certs and the log book in my name at my UK address, that if I were to register it in Ireland, it would be VRT exempt? Will they look for any other documentation?
It's an old 2001 SLK, which is only worth a couple of grand, but the VRT site says that the OMSP is €49,970, which is obviously a mistake and makes the VRT €14,950 plus €240 NOx.

NOx figure for this Skoda Superb TDI?
I am considering importing a 2019/2020 Skoda Superb 190hp TDI L&K Combi, but apart from one website that tells me the NOx is zero (zero: can this be correct?), I cannot find any official figures to work out the VRT costs. Can you help, please?

What about LPG-converted cars and NOx?
Hi, for the NOx charges and VRT: I have a 2000 Audi A4 quattro that's fairly rare in Ireland. I'm planning to get it changed to Irish plates ASAP. The car has an LPG conversation. Would the LPG affect the NOx charges? It should have lower NOx emissions.

Can I avoid VRT importing my own car?
Dear Team,
I moved to Ireland and brought my German car with me. It is a Volkswagen Caddy, built December 2014 with 115,000km reading on the clock. I had the idea of registering the car in Ireland, since I will be living permanently in Ireland for the next two years. Checking the VRT calculation online gave me a bit of a shock, since filling in the car information, as the system declared a VRT tax of €3,300. Could you please explain to me how to get around this tax? As I understood, since the car belonged to me before, it is not an import of a car (either new or used) in the normal sense?
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards
Dagmar Quandt

Will the NOx levy be refunded on export?
Will the NOx levy be refunded on export? With the new NOx tax on imports, will the same rebate be given on exports?
