Should I bring my car back from the UK?

Should I bring my car back from the UK?

Dear sir/madam. I was living in the UK and bought an 05 car there this year. I'm now considering moving back to Ireland and am unsure if it's worth my while to import it or not - any suggestions? Thanks

Our answer:

Hi Patricia,

It depends on the car, but as long as you've owned it and taxed it for more than six months, and can provide proof of your change of address, you won't have to pay any Vehicle Registration Tax to bring the car in here, so that's a bonus.
