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.

Famous quotes containing the words vehicle and/or tax:
“Its idea of “production value” is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
