How much VRT on 2014 Audi A5 from UK?

Hi,

I just bought a UK-reg 2014 Audi A5. How much will the VRT cost? It looks like €2,000 just for extra NOx charge.

Thanks

Robert

Extra NOx levy for imported Mokka?

Hi, 

I've just bought a 2014 Mokka Techline CDTi (120g/km) and just heard about the NOx levy; what should I expect to pay extra on top of €1,680 VRT? Help, as I'm registering it on Jan 6.

Thank you

Why is the import VRT different to expected?

I imported my car for the UK and I'm trying to appeal it as the VRT calculator estimated it would be €3,800, but when I went to the centre they could not calculate it, as they did not have any 1.6 diesel on their system. Anyway, it turned out to €4,700... Why?

VRT on importing a Mercedes CLA?

The VRT Calculator on Revenue's site does not have the model of car I am considering importing into Ireland. How can I know what VRT I will be charged before I present the car? It is a Mercedes-Benz CLA 220 AMG Line Auto that is six months old. The calculator has the 180 AMG Line Auto and the far more powerful 45 AMG 4Matic, but none of the models in between.

How much VRT on imported Honda Civic?

Hi!

I'm having trouble calculating the VRT due on a car that I'm thinking of buying from Northern Ireland. The VRT Calculator on the ROS website doesn't seem to have the exact spec I'm looking at, although the car is for sale in Ireland too. It's a Honda Civic - five-door hatchback, 1.5-litre petrol engine, manual transmission, 12,000 miles, registered November 2017. If you have any advice that would be great!

Thanks, Katie
