Can I import this car from the North without duty and VAT?

The question
I am considering buying a car in Northern Ireland. The car was originally a UK vehicle but was imported/registered in the North since Apr 2023. Would duty and VAT be owed on this vehicle or would the '90-day rule' apply?
Thanks.

Hi Peter,
Revenue's rules are complicated, but our interpretation of them suggests that car would attract duty and VAT on importation south. The '90-day rule' applies to cars brought into the North after 1 May 2023.
