How to calculate VRT on this 201 Tiguan?

Hi Shane,

I’m completely confused by the new VRT changes! If I was to look at import of a 201 used car, will VRT be calculated off the WLTP figures, or CO2. Also, will motor tax be based off the WLTP or CO2 figures. I ask in the context of a 1.5 TSI DSG Tiguan with these specs: CO2 133g/km, WLTP CO2 168g/km.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Should NOx levy be refunded on export?

Hi

On 20/08/2020 I imported a car from Northern Ireland. I paid €1,494 VRT and €1,500 of NOx levy. For employment reasons on the 21/10/2020 I had a vehicle Export Examination and was granted a VRT refund of €1,464 less Revenue's admin of €100, so a repayable refund of €1364. No NOx repayment. On enquiring with Revenue I have been told that it was not refundable. Should the NOx levy be refunded too? Any help would be appreciated.
