Looking at buying a car in Northern Ireland...
Hi, I'm looking at buying a car in Northern irleland, I'm from Cavan. I know i have to register it within 7 days. And pay VRT Do i also have to pay the new charges I'm looking at Audu a3
Our answer:
Hi Majella,
The rules are quite complicated and for the most part, yes, you would have to pay VRT, along with VAT and import duty. The latter two items may not be payable depending on when the car you're looking at first arrived into the North.
