    Hi All,

    Looking for some tips and advice on importing a Land Rover Defender please and thank you!

    I am looking to get a 7 seater, long wheel base Defender in from the UK that I can tax and insure privately here in Ireland (not a whole lot for sale here!)

    Couple of questions:
    - How can I make sure that I can actually register, tax and insure the jeep as private? What should I keep an eye out for in the UK market? Does the jeep have to be registered as Station Wagon in UK or does UK registration even matter?
    - I take it the 13%VRT will apply - how do I calculate the OMSP?
    - What road tax am I liable to pay once I get it in? (Im guessing its band F so 1200 a year -is this right? or does it fall in the higher bracket G of 2350? )

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
    Nothing on VRT calculator website for Defenders and everything in Ireland seems to be registered as commercial (which I dont want) so sorry if some of these seem a bit remedial!

    Thanks in advance!

    Where do you get the notion that 13% VRT applies to a 7 seat defender?

    I'd guess 36% based on emissions.

    Ah, your probably right!

    I was reading other (older) threads here and the discussion was around a 200euro flat fee or the 13%. Looking again, that is in reference to the commercial defenders in the N1 category so obviously not applicable for my wants!
