I've moved to Northern Ireland with my car...

Hi I have a Southern car but have moved to the North with it. I'm finding it hard to fill in all the paperwork. Could you help please . Also do I need to pay vat ?

Our answer:

Hi Bridget,

We can certainly point you in the right direction. First up, you're supposed to inform HMRC of the car being imported within 14 days so don't delay. Secondly, you're unlikely to have to pay VAT given the provided information, unless the car is considered to be new.

Anyway, best place to look it the official HMRC website, Importing vehicles into the UK
