VRT is probably the most dreaded three-letter word in the Irish motor trade, and in this video I explain exactly why.
Using real examples from our own dealership, I break down how Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) works, how it’s calculated and why the amount you pay can vary so much from one car to another.
I take you through a range of popular models that we regularly import, comparing the VRT on some of our best-selling cars and showing just how much tax is added before they ever reach the forecourt.
We also look at the factors that affect your VRT bill, including emissions, Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) and why two very similar cars can end up with completely different VRT costs.
To finish, I answer some of the questions we’re asked most often about VRT, including whether it’s possible to estimate it before buying a car, why it changes so frequently and what buyers should know before importing a vehicle into Ireland.
Everything in this video is based on my own experience importing cars into Ireland. I deal with VRT every day, so I wanted to share what I’ve learned and hopefully make a complicated topic much easier to understand.
If you’ve ever considered importing a car, wondered why cars cost more in Ireland or simply wanted to understand how VRT really works, I think you’ll find this video both interesting and informative.
