VAT and VRT on UK import commercial?

Filed under: importing

The question

Hi, I'm VAT-registered and looking to import a second hand commercial/crewcab vehicle from the UK. Am I correct that I don't have to pay UK VAT and only VRT when registering the car in Ireland?

Thanks

Hi Bob,

As long as they’re more than six months old, with more than 6,000km on the clock, then you’re right — no VAT, only VRT.
