Do I pay VRT on a car from the North?

Hi ywant buy a car from north Ireland, second hand ,have to pay VRT or not,the car is UK plate Tank you

Our answer:

Hi Gheorghe,

No matter where a car is imported from, VRT is usually due, including Northern Ireland.

Depending on how long the car was used in the North, and how it got there, you may or may not also be liable for VAT and customs duty.
