Any VRT on importing an electric car?
If importing a one-year-old EV from UK (no VAT due) where EV grants have been paid, will I have to pay VRT in Ireland?

Hi Michael,
It depends on the vehicle, and what Revenue reckons the Open Market Selling Price in Ireland is. There’s a €5,000 VRT rebate on any electric car when you import it so unless the car is so expensive that it incurs VRT of more than €5,000 you won’t pay a penny.
