    Been trying to get in contact with the VRT offices in Dublin (both the one in Tallaght and the one in Santry) and neither of them are picking up the phone, after letting it ring for 20 mins, and the other telling me they are closed between 12:45 and 14:00 even though it's 15:55...

    Any ideas, I called revenues main number but they we're any help...

    If you are trying to calculate VRT there is a link for it on the front page of www.revenue.ie

    Other than that did you actually have a question, or just need to moan at someone?

    I've got the VRT quote alright, just had a query re VAT... the vehicle is < 6 months old, so I have to pay VAT here, but do I have to pay VAT there too? According to the dealer he'll be looking for the VAT...

    If importing from an European Economic Area state VAT is payable in either the country of purchase or country of import (usually purchase), but not both.

    The VRO doesn't collect the VAT either way, the Revenue Commissioners do.

    Don't waste your time trying to ring the VRO in Santry, they NEVER answer the phone (based on my experience with them, anyway).

    i just imported a vehicle and used the Santry office.

    For a start, they NEVER answered the phone. I ended up ringing another Dublin office.

    When I was there, there was a SERIOUS amount of breaks, usually smoking breaks. There are 3 desks there. Process:

    customer is called
    customer shows documentation
    VRT staff tap tap tap on comuter and say they need info from Rosslare.. it'll be 15 mins
    customer sits back down
    VRT staff take 15 min break instead of bringing another customer UP

    I got caught on that. Then when VRT staff decided to come back to work they told me that the guy in Rosslare was on his break! It took me 1.5 hours to get one piece of info from them!


    Then I had to pay them some money and the sign said they accepted LASER. What is doesn't say is that their machine doesn't accept LASER cards with the chip-n-[in on them!
