Hello,

I have €30,000 (no trade in), looking for some advice please. I have had two Nissan Qashqais and really liked them but now they don't come in diesel after March 2021. So, I am trying to decide on an SUV roughly that size, diesel, automatic, 2022/2023. I’m not completely stuck on automatic.

 It’s mind blowing trying to figure out which to go for.

Any advice much appreciated.

What forms do I need to fill before going to Northern Ireland to buy a car from a private owner? And how to reg in the south?

I would like to buy a van in Northern Ireland and take it to the Republic of Ireland. Some traders state that VRT can be paid for as little as €200. Is this correct? How is this being achieved and is it legitimate?

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

I am looking to buy a car in Northern Ireland, a 2015 Maserati. It was registered in Northern Ireland since new. If I buy it, do I have to pay VRT or VAT on it in the Republic of Ireland?

Hi,

Can I reclaim any UK VAT from a dealer on a used car bought from a UK dealer if I prepare UK export customs form and provide proof of VAT payment in Ireland?

Thanks

Hi,

I've bought the Lexus LBX Urban but noticed when reversing there is no sound to let you know how close you are to obstructions. Is this normal on this spec?

Does the 2014 SsangYong Korando 2.2 diesel have a timing belt or timing chain?

Hello,

I'm an employee but also have a business name registered which I only used for sideline contacts a handful of times 20 years ago. I was going to register for VAT for the sole purpose of buying a used commercial SUV and availing of the €333 tax rate. I don’t intend to trade as I’m happy enough staying as an employee. Would this be possible or classed as fraud?

Regards

I’m looking to buy a small van; it’s a 2018 Citroen Berlingo registered in Northern Ireland. I’m paying £4,000 stg. How much in total duties do I have to pay?
