Should NOx levy be refunded on export?
Hi
On 20/08/2020 I imported a car from Northern Ireland. I paid €1,494 VRT and €1,500 of NOx levy. For employment reasons on the 21/10/2020 I had a vehicle Export Examination and was granted a VRT refund of €1,464 less Revenue's admin of €100, so a repayable refund of €1364. No NOx repayment. On enquiring with Revenue I have been told that it was not refundable. Should the NOx levy be refunded too? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Will VRT change my new car price in 2021?
We ordered a new car before the 2021 budget and paid a deposit. Even though the car won't be delivered until January 2021, I presume the new VRT rates will not change the price we agreed with the dealer?

What is the VRT rate for a 211 BMW X3 xLine xDrive20d? Let's say if I put in a factory order now and the car arrives in the middle of January, will I be charged under the new VRT rate?

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)?
