    Buy it now and get a receipt. Pay VRT after 3 months. €200 no extra fees.

    Edit: Possibly 23% VAT of purchase price if you can’t prove the car was here before Brexit. This is separate to VRT

    No there shouldn’t be. Anyway you can just put a Northern Ireland address on the receipt instead of an Irish address

    You will need proof of entry to the State and possible proof of transaction

    Not if the receipt has a NI address on it. Never been asked for proof of transaction personally

    Last two cars I brought in I was asked for proof of transaction and had to provide bank statements. One from France and one from UK

    Why would you need proof of transaction for a car bought in the EU? Do you just mean an invoice or an actual proof of payment like a bank statement?

    Proof of payment. Anything over €10,000 I was told! Money laundering they said!
