Do I pay VRT or duty on this car?

Do I pay VRT or duty on this car?

Hi - I'm looking to import a car from Northern Ireland. It was first registered in Northern Ireland in June 2020 (i.e. one owner from new in Northern Ireland). My reading of the rules is that while I have to pay VRT, I don't need to pay VAT or Customs duty on this car. Am I correct? Thanks in advance

Our answer:

Hi David,

That is correct. Just make sure you have the paperwork to prove the details.
