From the month you pay the VRT in. You can tax it about two working days after you pay VRT, online using last digits of VIN as PIN.
Date of import on the ferry ticket should do if you leave it in UK. You could then delay VRT appointment till January, the VRT might be less as it's another years depreciation, VRT rate on diesels drop by 1%, but Nox charge kicks in

Are these Nox charges definitely coming in ?

I rang revenue yesterday and was told they haven't been told anything yet....

And in relation to VRT possibly dropping he said it won't drop because it's based on emissions 🀔

I'm guessing you were talking to someone who has nothing to do with VRT.

The NOx charges are coming in, the VRT calculator will be updated with the NOx calculator but it wont be ready in January.

VRT for diesel cars will be dropping the 1% it increased from a previous budget January 1st.

Oh definitely appeal after you pay so

Just received my advice from Revenue that my latest VRT appeal was successful. In my experience, provided your claim is reasonable and supported by evidence, it wont be refused.

The first 0-60 mg/km =€5

The next 20 mg/km or part thereof up to 80 mg/km=€15

The remainder above 80 mg/km =€25

So €2075 (assuming its deisel) if its petrol theres a cap of €600

You have to pay the quoted amount first before you can make an appeal.

Nope, you can only do that with brand new cars and it costs €1000.

Thanks michellie,

Yep it's a 64 plate 1.7 ix35 diesel. So that's on top of the €3,160 figure the ros vrt calculator gives ?

Yea, in and around that, there will be the 1% decrease for diesel cars plus the OMSP should drop a bit (ideally, sometimes it doesnt)in January.

Hi,
I'm looking to bring audi a6 2015 2ltr diesel s line from north before end of this year. Can anybody tell me, if the car will be in the country before 1 of January 2020 but will not get VRT apointment till later next year, do I need to pay NOX tax ?
Also how much is the NOX tax on 2015 audi a6 2 ltr diesel?

You can book a VRT appointment now once you have the reg number in fact any reg number will do.. A 190 Ultra will be about 270 Euros..

If you want to avoid the NOx charge book an appointment and pay before January 1st. It doesn't matter when the car comes into the country that charge is in effect from that date.

This goes for any vehicle that may be sent to revenue for valuation(higher end stuff under 2 years old) or if there are no STAT codes. If you bring the car in to be inspected late December and don't pay until January 1st you will pay NOx too.

I brought it up with Revenue last month as I find it unfair but there is no leeway

I just ran the numbers. VRT works out at 4065 if I get done before January 1. If I get VRT after January 1 ill pay extra 256 but VRT will be 1 % less and OMSP will drop to? So could work out cheaper to import after January 1 2020 even with added nox tax?
Do I understand this correctly?

You must have spoken to a moron who doesn’t understand how the law is set out. The VRT is, by law, based on the importation date not the presentation date. Of course, they will probably miss that subtlety.

That poster works in a vrt centre I believe. I would be inclined to take her word for it.

If that's the case I better pay the Vrt before end of December so unless I want to pay over €2000 extra. Would that be the case ?

Take it up with dublin castle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's the way it is, like it or not. But I am warning people so they don't get caught out. It's best people are aware of this, as no one wants to get stung for extra money, not you and not the VRT admin who has to take the **** from the customers

They might very well do in which case they would not have involvement in the technical aspects of VRT and the cited Revenue official seems not to know the law either.

Whats the delay in getting an appointment now for vrt in general?

Is the phev rebate as it stands disappearing in January?

When you say 1% decrease is this on whatever they charge for VRT ?

And how much should the OMSP drop by ?

Thanks

It would not even be sustained on appeal to Revenue itself. I find it hard to believe that they would issue such an idiotic instruction. It’s actually misfeasance in public office if they have.
