Considering importing a Mazda MX-5...
I am considering purchasing a 2013 Mazda MX-5 Roadster hard top; its mileage is 48,000, but I cannot find revenue VRT example... Should I wait until after Brexit is over to purchase? I'm buying from a friend.

Will my Japanese import cost a lot for NOx?
I have a three-cylinder 0.6-litre petrol 'kei car' coming from Japan that was never sold in Europe. Will this be hit with the max fine of €600 NOx charge as there is no NOx reading available, or is there anything that can be done to avoid paying this crazy charge when it should only be a a few Euro for an engine so small?

I'm missing paperwork to VRT my import...
Went to do VRT on Saturday and it wasn't done as first page was missing, not given by car dealer. Just rang but he said that was all he had, but is looking into it. I'm a bit panicked as only have two weeks until 30 days is up; is there anything we can do?
Thanks.

How much to import a 2016 Toyota Verso?
I was thinking about importing a 2016 Toyota Verso 1.6 diesel and I’m just wondering how much roughly will it cost to import. It has 50,000 miles on the clock I know it may very depending on spec. But with duty and the new charge?

I imported a car from Japan and need help...
Hello,
I got a 1999 Toyota Cresta 2.0 auto petrol in from Japan in November. I went to the VRT/NCT office to get the reg and, as I was missing one document, was told to come back after Xmas. Nobody said anything about the NOx charge coming in 2020...
So now I have to pay this charge even though I have the NOx/CO2 numbers for the car from the seller in Japan. Also, the VRT came in at €5,500; this a crazy price for a 1999 car - Revenue thinks the car is worth €20,000 and it's actually only worth €4,000 or €5,000 at most; I cannot pay this amount so what can I do?

How to calculate VAT on a UK import?
If I am buying a new car in the UK and I have to pay Irish VAT, what figure do I use to calculate the VAT? Is it the UK price inclusive or exclusive of VAT converted to Euro?

Do we pay VAT on UK imports after Brexit?
When the UK exits the EU at the end of this month, will VAT on UK car imports have to be paid from then on?
Many thanks, Fin.
