Any VAT dur on a 2022-2023 Hyundai Santa Fe imported?
Importing a 22/23 Santa Fe from Northern Ireland: 13k miles, two-three years old. Are VRT and VAT due on the import? Or just VRT? My take on it is once the car is over six months old and has more than 6,000km on the clock, the VAT is not due on import, is this correct?

Hi Adam,
That's correct so long as the car was actually used in Northern Ireland – and not just imported by a dealer from the rest of the UK for sale. If it's an original Northern Ireland car then it's fine as well. Don't forget about the NOx levy as part of the VRT payment.
