VAT and VRT required importing a Maserati from the North?
I am looking to buy a car in Northern Ireland, a 2015 Maserati. It was registered in Northern Ireland since new. If I buy it, do I have to pay VRT or VAT on it in the Republic of Ireland?

Hi Gerrit,
For a car such as that, which was registered new in Northern Ireland, you will only have to pay VRT (at 41 per cent of the car's Open Market Selling Price - OMSP - most likely) and the NOx levy. No VAT or import duty should be payable.
