VRT on a Lexus IS F?
hello I would like to know what is the approximate vrt cost for a car imported from japan - lexus IS-F 2008, petrol 5 liter engine, cost of the car 17 000euro kind regards
Our answer:
Hi Mariusz,
That's a very tricky one to calculate accurately as it's a rare car and the VRT calculation depends on how Revenue values the car in Ireland. That may have no bearing on what you've paid for it.
Taking the €17,000 you mentioned as the price (which Revenue is not likely to do), and with a VRT rate of 37 per cent, that means a VRT bill of €6,290.
