The question
I am looking to import a Land Rover Defender 110 or 90 from the UK as they are significantly cheaper over there. I however do not want to pay a huge amount of VRT. Can it be brought in as a two-seat commercial and only pay the €333 rate?

Hi Alex,
If the vehicle is indeed a two-seat commercial then yes you can import it as that and pay just 13.3 per cent of the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP). The €333 rate you refer to is the annual motor tax rate for commercials, which is only available for those using their vehicles for zero private use whatsoever.
