I'd like to import my 1999 Volkswagen T4...

Hi there,

I want to register my 1999 Volkswagen T4 from Germany. It has about 34,000km on the clock and just two seats. I cannot find this type of vehicle on the VRT calculator. How much will the VRT be approximately?

Thanks in advance

Hi Viktoria,

If you've owned and used the vehicle in Germany yourself for more than six months and you are moving to Ireland then no VRT should be payable. Have a read of the Transfer of Residence rules from Revenue to see if that applies to you. 

If not, and the T4 is registered as a commercial vehicle, then VRT may be payable at a flat rate of just €200.
