Vehicle Registration Tax (Ireland)
Vehicle registration tax or VRT is a tax that must be paid in Ireland when registering a motor vehicle.
The tax is paid to the Revenue in two ways:
- VRT is included in the retail price of a new motor vehicle purchased from a dealership
- The tax is paid by the owner of a motor vehicle imported from abroad upon applying for registration (subject to exemptions, below).
The vehicle must be presented at a Revenue Vehicle Registration Office (VRO) no later than one day after arrival into Ireland.
