Supra.SZ-R Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 OK guys here goes again I need help registering my Japanese Supra to Ireland It is first however going to be registered in England first And thus for registration in Ireland purposes should just be a matter of registering a UK car! Is there any Irish owners out there who have recently imported a Supra to Ireland How much we're you charged for Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) The calculator on the revenues page is giving me 1300 euro Is this about right? My car is a 1999 Supra RZ Manual Please help if anyone knows anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thought you were living abroad mate hence the sale of the other one?! Anyway when looking fr infor the other week I did find a bit on importing UK cars to Ireland just not the other way round. Seems you pay a percentage of the vehicles value.

TuneR Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Ya nothing wrong with that, i looked through the calculator and it was about that. Its when the vehicle isn't on the calculator that you get into trouble i.e. they've removed NSXs, S2000s, Skylines, etc. so they can hit you with a bill once they've worked out what is more. Usually charging 30% of the CIF(landed) price. Remember to get it done in the correct time frame too as they'll charge you penalties now if you cant prove it just entered the country.

So you think that should be what I'll be charged then? When I get this horibble task completed I'm gonna do a full rite up on it There gota be someone though who knows exactly Gonna get my father to call them and ask for a quote maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Apparently it can cost a maximum of 2000 euros. I think if you import it from Japan into the UK you'll need to get it MOT'd first which means fitting a rear fog light before it can go to Ireland.. I could be completely wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuneR Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Id presume you wouldn't need it if you weren't registering it in the UK though? I presume you've paid tax and customs already as well? I've imported 3 cars in the boom time (last was in 2008) and thats the way it was back then. Although you need to bring it to an NCT centre who will look it over, they might disagree with the price on the calculator but its doubtful unless its super low mileage.

Scoot Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Wait a minute, hold up hold up Wher do the stick the fog light? They don't cut through the bumper or anything Do UK supras have rear fog lights? Speak to your importer as to what they'll do. I had a fog light conversion done on mine, my mates gtr had a hole cut in the bumper and a rectangular light mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you need to bring it to an NCT centre who will look it over, they might disagree with the price on the calculator but its doubtful unless its super low mileage. The tax and customs will be paid and the car registered in England, MoT'd and taxed for 6 months What did you bring into Ireland in 08 and what did they charge you for it? If you think they really won't charge much more than what the calculator says then I would rather register it in Ireland If its gonna be something I'll just register it to an NI address!

A Honda S2000 and iirc about €6000, i got money back when i challenged them though. You have to pay it first and then you can go about trying to get some refunded.
