Looking at a Fabia 1.2 SE 63 plate and not sure which engine it is . Cambelt or chain - if belt when is a change due and should it include a water pump change. Thank you
Hey i was looking at your answer to the below: As with importing cars from the rest of the UK, it will also be necessary to pay import/customs duty and VAT on cars imported from Northern Ireland, unless the car was already in Northern Ireland by 31 December 2020. And it's up to the importer to prove that distinction. Does the 31 Dec 2020 also relate to UK cars or just NI?
Hi I am thinking of buying a 22 reg diesel car in Northern Ireland. The car is originally a northern Irish registered, the garage has applied for a v5 as there was a plate change and v5 will be coming back in garages name. Would vat and customs duty need to be paid on this car to import to Southern Ireland.
Hi - I'm looking to import a car from Northern Ireland. It was first registered in Northern Ireland in June 2020 (i.e. one owner from new in Northern Ireland). My reading of the rules is that while I have to pay VRT, I don't need to pay VAT or Customs duty on this car. Am I correct? Thanks in advance
Hi, a car I am looking at arrived into Northern Ireland from the UK in February 2024. I want to buy it in the North and register it in the Republic of Ireland. The dealer in the North has said that as the car has been in NI for 3 months that no customs/VAT are due on it, a rule that came in on May 1st. Is this true and would I only be liable for VRT on the car?
