VRT

What is Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT)?
Vehicle Registration Tax is chargeable on registration of a motor vehicle in the Republic of Ireland. All motor vehicles in the State, other than those brought in temporarily by visitors, must be registered with the Revenue Commissioners. A vehicle must be registered before it can be licensed for road tax purposes.

How is the Tax calculated?
In the case of cars and small vans, the tax is a percentage of the expected retail price, including all taxes in the State. This price is known as the Open Market Selling Price or OMSP. Because the VRT is calculated on many factors we are unable to display the prices here on UnbeatableCar.com. The VRO will calculate this tax for you or you may obtain the details online at Vehicle Registration on-line Enquiry System. VRT-Calculator

Have I any recourse if I feel that I have been Overcharged?
Yes. You can raise the matter with the VRO official at the time of payment. If you continue to be dissatisfied you can appeal under the formal excise appeal procedure. Details are set out in a separate information leaflet VRT 6 which you can obtain at any VRO.

When do I receive my Registration Certificate?
The registration certificate, issued by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government, will be posted to you after you have applied to your local authority motor tax office for your road tax licence.

Reliefs and Exemptions
There are various reliefs and exemptions from VRT. These are described in individual public notices which are available from any VRO. They include exemption which may apply in the case of :

transfer of residence
transfer of business activity

Relief is also available for certain persons with disabilities who meet specified medical criteria. An information booklet VRT 7 is available from the Central Repayments Office, Coolshannagh, Monaghan - Telephone 047 - 38010 .
