Is my Sportage exempt from VRT and VAT?

I am moving to Ireland from the UK, and I have a Kia Sportage GT line that I have owned since 1st of April - it has done just over 9,000 miles. Would I be exempt from paying VRT and VAT?

Hi Roisin,

You’ll be exempt from VAT as the car has done more than 4,000km, but not VRT I’m afraid as you’ve owned it for less than six months.
