The car I'm getting is a 3 month old 320D M sport Edition
Not sure, but thought you had to pay VAT if the car was less than 6 months old/less than 6k on the clock ?Not that I'm aware of. Please elaborate as to why I would have too.
Again I think, you can only claim the uk vat back on a brand new car.good catch, apparently I can claim back the UK VAT but I would have to pay the Irish VAT first. trying to confirm such. Otherwise I need to drive for 2500 miles before heading to the VRT office ;-)
Clohass you are correct - UK VAT is not refundable on a private 2nd hand car purchase, and the car must have more than 6,000 km on the clock and be more than 6 months old befor it qualifies for Irish VAT exemption as a 2nd hand import.Mahons
You need to be very sure on this. My understanding is that if the car is under 6 months old or under 6000klms you are liable to VAT in Republic. I don't think you can claim the UK VAT back on a 3 month old car so potentially you are looking at 21% extra or keeping the car out of ROI for another 3 months.
