The question
Hi there,
Just wondering if you have any idea of how much the VRT would be on a 2001 Mercedes CL 500? Price is £1,500 in the UK.

Hi Karl,
It'll be in the top VRT band for a start, at 41 per cent of the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP). That, unfortunately, is not the price you pay for the car in the UK, but the value Revenue believes the car to be worth after registration in Ireland. It's not easy to estimate for an older and rare car such as yours, but for example, if we guessed at €7,500, then the VRT would be €3,075.
