Hi, I've been researching this for a while now, and I'm wondering is this a legal way of handling a VRT issue.
A contact I have (and trust) in the UK purchases the car I want using the money I give them. It's taxed and insured in the UK. I drive it over here for that period, with my own existing insurance. If I get stopped I just say it's my friend's car, I have it over for the weekend etc etc.
My contact then returns to Ireland 6 months later and pays Irish tax, sans VRT because they have proof of residence, employment etc. The car is then signed over to me.
Is this a runner?
