Will VRT change my new car price in 2021?

We ordered a new car before the 2021 budget and paid a deposit. Even though the car won't be delivered until January 2021, I presume the new VRT rates will not change the price we agreed with the dealer?

Hi Janice,

I'm afraid there is every chance that the VRT will change the price, as the VRT is calculated when the car is registered, not when it is ordered. You should contact the dealer to get clarification as soon as possible.
