VRT on a 2002 Honda Integra Type R from Japan?

Hi,

Looking to import a 2002 Honda Integra Type R from Japan. The VRT calculator on Revenue.ie does not have this car listed. What is the estimated VRT on this car? They go for between €12-18K on used car websites in Ireland.

Hi Stephen,

This car will be in the top band for VRT due to its high CO₂ emissions, so 41 per cent of the OMSP.

Now, as you probably know, this Open Market Selling Price is what Revenue believes the car to be worth after registration in Ireland, and it's very difficult to predict that value for a niche model such as the Honda.

If you take the top level of the price band as €18,000, then VRT would be €7,380.
