    If someone from NI is working for a NI company and getting paid in NI, but the job is full time Mon-Fri in the Republic (and they return to NI at weekends), then are they liable for VRT on their NI registered private car that is with them Mon-Fri in the Republic? Or, if the car is a company car, is that liable for VRT?

    There are one or two strict exemptions to the rule that a resident of the State cannot drive a temporarily imported vehicle. Afaik they relate to the scenario you describe. Do some research on www.revenue.ie

    They reside in NI at weekends, but are renting a house in the Republic and are living in the house during the week.

    Then they are RoI residents. Can't remember the exact rule but to be non-resident you need to be out of the country for something like 90/120 days in a given period.

    Indeed. The rule basically comes down to living here more than half the year (as in 183 days)

    Officially they should pay the VRT, as they are ROI residents. From an insurance point of view it doesn't matter, so long as the insurance company know where the car's main use will be. If they're stopped, and they produce a NI driving license with their home (NI) address on it, and the insurance cert is for their NI home address, then they're not going to be questioned.
