C02 emission ratings for individual vehicles will, in addition to the normal engine cc value, be used for the calculation of motor tax in respect of any new or pre owned imported vehicle, registered in this country on or after 1 January, 2008, taxed within the ‘Private Car’ motor tax classMy cousin in the UK is hoping to come and live and work in Ireland early next year. She wants to bring her Range Rover Discovery with her, which she's owned for a 3 years. Some questions:-
1) Will she have to get Irish plates, and if so - will it cost anything?
2) I wonder if she would have to pay the new highest motor tax rate of €2000 for highest emissions just announced?
If anyone can help with any of these points, I'd be grateful. I phoned Revenue, but they said look at their website and it seems a bit confusing?
Threetick,
How did you come to the conclusion that an car imported from Jan 08 will have VRT and Road tax calculated based on Co2 not cc? I thought this would only apply for imports after July 08
The motor tax changes were announced after the budget (the following day) by Minister Gormley.This debate started when someone posted the Co2 tables relating to road tax.
Which had nothing to do with this years budget.
If she has owned it for 6 months in the UK (and can prove this - utility bills to a UK address, salary paid from a UK company etc.) and doesn't sell it for 12 months after she imports it to Ireland, she is exempt from the VRT payment.So it would seem getting it registered (changing to Irish plates) won't cost anything (as she's had it for more than 6 months) and she will save about €900 if she taxes it before july 1st?
joanod,
I recently bought an 07 passat in UK and yes it's a struggle to get any discount from main dealer. I think you need to be there in the garage to have any chance of a price reduction. In the end i got £300 off a £13k car as I was playing two nearby garages off each other. Still have a very good deal relative to buying here. I know 2 others who bought in UK and couldn't get any discount.
