• Can’t you just import to NI, then import to the ROI? Gov.uk site says zero VAT and duty GB to NI, and once in NI it’s (NI Protocol) in the EU, so should be no import or tax NI to ROI?

  • You'd think that but no. Irish Revenue are still going to charge all of the same charges before you'll receive a registration number.

    They've even written into the rules that it's illegal for an Irish citizen currently resident in the country to drive a vehicle that isn't registered in Ireland. It's an absolute shitshow.

  • But Ireland is in the EU, therefore an import from say France should not attract vat and duty- although if the fees are based on emissions and so on then that would be a country specific thing, is that the case here?

  • They've even written into the rules that it's illegal for an Irish citizen currently resident in the country to drive a vehicle that isn't registered in Ireland.

    Hasn’t that been the case for years though? Iirc it’s the same in the UK for uk residents.
