VRT on a Toyota Land Cruiser from Japan?
Hi,
How much would the VRT be on a 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado imported from Japan? It's a 3.0 D and has 170,000km on it.
Thanks

Hi Karl,
We need two things to calculate that. The first is the CO2 rating to determine the VRT band. It's safe to say this car will be in the top band, with VRT of 41 per cent.
The second, the OMSP (Open Market Selling Price) is trickier to guess as it's the price Revenue believes the car to be worth registered in Ireland - and it includes the VRT... This is especially difficult to estimate for an older model such as this that is very rarely up for sale.
If you take the OMSP to be €15,000 then the VRT would be 41 per cent of that, at €6,150, but we'd not be confident in suggesting what Revenue will say the OMSP is.
