The question
Hello,
I’m thinking about importing a car from Australia. I will have owned it for more than six months. I understand I’m exempt from VRT, but do I pay VAT given I’m not in EU?

Hi Declan,
Yes, you will have to pay VAT or import duty when the car is brought here, I’m afraid. VAT will be payable at the standard rate based on the OMSP (Open Market Selling Price) of the car, as defined by Revenue.
