Hi Steven,
We can help you estimate it, but please do note that it is only an estimate and you're kind of at the mercy of Revenue.
First up, we can be certain that car will be in the top band for VRT due to its CO2 emissions, so that means VRT at 41 per cent.
That's 41 per cent of the so-called Open Market Selling Price (OMSP), which is the value Revenue reckons the car is worth following registration in Ireland.
It's a tricky thing to guess for a rare car such the F-Type, but for the purposes of our calculations let's say it's €45,000. That would mean VRT of €18,450.
The NOx levy is separate to that, but small in comparison.
And if you're bringing the car from England, Scotland or Wales them you'll also be hit with VAT at 23 per cent and import duty at 10 per cent (though these are calculated from the 'customs value' of the car, not the OMSP).
Most cars coming from Northern Ireland shouldn't be liable for VAT or import duty, within certain restrictions.
Make sure you do your homework on all this before committing to bringing the car in.
