    Folks

    I am looking at a 2nd hand LR Discovery that I may well end up importing from the UK, but this is dependant on the CRT charge which the online system wont calculate for me!

    Does anyone have any experience of importing an LR Discovery thats about 10 years old and how much the VRT cost on it?

    AFAIK 10 year old cars probablty won't have a certificate that is accepteble to Revenue stating the emissions figures for calculating VRT and road tax, so it will fall into the maximum road tax and VRT bands if registered after July.

    I should imagine that even if emissions figures would be available, that it would fall into the top band anyway.

    if it is a commercial i think you could get away with paying a flat 50 euro fee but you would probably be better off checking out the forum at clri.net

    if it's coming from the UK, it'll be likely to be a passenger model.
    Commercial models aren't, and won't be taxed on emissions.
    I get the feeling the OP is talking about a passenger model

    yeah your probably right on a different note from my experience the importation vrt pricing system is a bit wishy washy, a defender 110 can get away with the 50 euro fee where as a defender 90 gets charged at the 13.5% fee, the online vrt quotation calculater rarely has a near accurate match unless your going for a standard version of a very popular car and from what ive heard is that it all depends on what revenue office on what day and what revenue assessor you get that influences what quote you get

    rant over

    Ive been told that to only get charged the €50 VRT on commercials now they look for a VAT number. Anyone know if this is true or not?

    i recently bought a freelander thinking it would cost 50 euros vrt but it cost 1,900,was commercial,they went by the weight of the vehicle,mine was just over 2 tonnes and if was over 2.5 would have got for 50 euros,nothing about tax was discussed.
