What to do with car prize?
I won a northern Ireland reg car and haven't driven it, I am based in the rep of Ireland, I was wondering do I have to pay any charges and best place to sell it to make the most money between Ireland, Northern Ireland's and the UK? Thank you in advance.
Our answer:
Hi Laura and congratulations!
If you import the car to Ireland, there will be VRT and the NOx levy to pay and, if it's less than six months old or has less than 6,000km on the clock you'll also have to pay VAT.
With all that in mind, it would make a lot of sense if you could sell it in the North without ever bringing it in here.
