New rules for importing a new car from the North?

What are the latest rules for buying a new car in Northern Ireland and importing it into Ireland? Was there a change recently in the protocol between UK/NI and EU? Heard something on the news from Rishi Sunak/DUP. Is VAT and duty still payable?

Our answer:

Hi Tel,

There have been several changes to the rules surrounding importing cars from the North over the past couple of years and it's quite a complicated thing now. VAT and duty are payable still in many cases, yet. Best thing to do is read the official Revenue page - Importing vehicles from Great Britain and Northern Ireland
