The question
Hi,
My daughter lives/works in Maynooth but goes to the North occasionally for work. She wants to buy a Volkswagen Polo from the North (cheaper obviously) and use it mostly in the Republic. She is from the UK (Kent) and has residency to work/pay taxes etc. Will she need to import it?

Hi Chris,
Unless your daughter has a permanent address in the North where she can register the car, then yes, she will have to import it.
