Can you give us 2021 pricing on these EVs?
Hi,
Curious to know what the difference will be on BEV pricing under the new VRT rules compared with current pricing (which has €5,000 VRT rebate). Would be interesting to see old vs new pricing on a few e.g. Mazda MX-30, Peugeot e-208, Honda e, Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model 3.
Thanks, Kieran Donnelly

Can I pay a portion of the VRT?
Hi there,
In July I imported a 2019-reg car and was exempt paying VRT on it due to transferring residence back to Ireland. If I sell the car within one year I must pay the VRT - is the VRT due calculated on a set 12 months or whatever period less 12 months (i.e. so in November say nine months VRT)?

Should I buy an Opel Corsa-e before 2021?
I was going to switch to an EV in the New Year. Should I now bring this forward? Was looking at an Opel Corsa-e. I get that the VRT will reduce from 14% to 7%, but this will be outweighed by the loss of the €5,000 VRT rebate? And what of the €5,000 SEAI grant? Will that still be in the equation in the New Year?
Many thanks for your guidance.

How much will my 2021 RAV4 be to tax?
Hi,
I am expecting to take delivery of a new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid AWD in January 2021. Could you please tell me how much my annual road tax will be based on the new rates of tax announced in the Budget of Oct 13 2020, as I’m totally confused?
Many thanks
