New VRT Enquiry system

vicadd

Revenue have released a new Online VRT Enquiry system, which can be used to get a guide to the VRT you will need to pay on an imported car/bike. It is also useful for getting a good guide to the value of your existing car as it gives you the OMSP (open market selling price).

was messing around with it and checking out how much it would cost to import various cars.
It did not have the E30 M3, only the newer ones, does not have the (real) six series, Ford Mustang or Capri.
Gave up then!

Link really appreciated, vicadd

Will seriously consider importing my next car from the UK. The VRT that would have been due on my car, had I imported it, is less than €1.5k - amazing!

not too sure on its lists of European cars. But it was fairly extensive regarding Japanese cars.

Great link Unkel

On this note, I see McCreevey is ranting over in Brussels about how the governments are not doing enough to create the single market (http://www.breakingnews.ie/2004/10/07/story169908.html). This is the 2nd time I have read about himn doing this recently. The hypocritical bollix! He was the one who increased VRT insetad of removing it, thus creating a bigger barrier to Irelands ability to use the EU market.

Really good link cheers!

About time they done something like this, all the ringing up of the local VRT office is a killer on the phone bill! Especially when your talking to some old doll who hasn't a clue about cars!

did anyone actually get a quote from the system? Ive tried various bmw/fords and every single one of them returned no data..

ondafly

my mistake

anyway. A friend recently imported an integra and paid the VRT at the VRT office. Hes checked the calculator, and the same amount was calculated online.

It works for any standard car I try, you should only have a problem finding rarer cars. Make sure you get number of doors, version and body type correct. e.g. when I looked up an Integra Version DC-High, Doors 3, Body Liftback - you get nothing, but change Body to Sports Coupe and Doors to 2 and you get a list of 5 matches to choose from.

I've had no problems with it so far and i've looked up a good 40/50 cars now!

You just have to tweek it a bit with the number of doors and body type like vicadd said
