Any VRT on importing a used Nissan Leaf?

Hi,

I am looking at buying a 2023 Nissan Leaf Tekna from the North. The garage has said that there is no VRT to pay as it is an electric vehicle. Is that correct? I have checked the Revenue VRT calculator, and it has given me a figure of around €2,300.

Regards

Hi Michael,

The garage is correct. There is VRT relief at up to €5,000 for EVs worth below a certain threshold, and that Leaf certainly qualifies.
