Do I need to tell Revenue if I didn't import?

Do I need to let Irish Revenue know if I resell my imported UK car back to the the UK garage where I bought it as the VRT is too high on it when I got the figure today?

Hi Mary,

Yes, you should do. There’s no strict legal requirement to, but if you’ve set the VRT train in motion, then technically you have to pay up after 30 days, so you’d better let them know, or there may be an unpleasant knock at your door (or more realistically a nasty letter in the post…).
