Can I convert a Land Cruiser before importing it?
Hi,
I'm buying a 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser SWB in Northern Ireland where it has been registered from new. It's a passenger version. My question is, can I take out the seats and register it as commercial in the south or if not, can it be registered as commercial in NI first before I bring it in or is it not worth the hassle?
What roughly would the VRT be?

Should I buy this already-imported van?
I am contemplating buying a 2019 van from a guy in Dundalk. He purchased the vehicle in GB and has had the vehicle for two months but has not changed the ownership details and still has the V5 form.
He has told me that I will only be liable to pay €250 VRT for a commercial vehicle but is a bit vague on other charges such as VAT and other taxes.
Can you tell me approximately what my liability would be if I purchase the vehicle and register it in Ireland?
Many thanks

Do I pay VRT importing a BMW i3 from GB?
Hello
I was planning on buying a 2016 BMW i3 from GB. I'm totally new to cars and don't really have a good idea on what I'm doing. The garage I'm buying it from has it listed for £7,000. I was just wondering how much VRT I would be paying for this car and any other expenses?

Do I pay VAT on a 2017 car imported via the North?
Hi, looking to buy a 2017 car from a dealership in NI. Car has been imported from GB by the dealership and a Customs Service Supplementary Declaration document has been provided (dated 14/04/2025) stating the number plate of the car. Would I be required to pay VAT if registering in Ireland?
