This VRT Estimator estimates the savings that a car buyer can make by buying a used car in Northern Ireland, paying VRT and registering the car in the Republic. It is designed to show a ballpark amount that a buyer would be likely to pay, and should be used in conjunction with the Revenue's own VRT Calculator. This Estimator assumes the car is a normal passenger car ('Class A Vehicle').

Notes:

If the estimate of VRT is substantially different from Revenue’s calculation, and you are satisfied that you have accurately estimated the selling price of the car in the Republic, then you should consider making an appeal.

Currency conversions are based on prevailing wholesale exchange rates.

This VRT Estimator provides an estimate of the VRT payable and is based on YOUR estimate of current car selling prices in the Republic and on information supplied by the advertiser, and is intended only as an illustration of potential savings based on this information. Before agreeing to a purchase, you should check with the seller that the details provided are correct and also visit Revenue's online VRT calculator. The VRT Estimator assumes that the vehicle is a recent passenger car, i.e. not a classic car or commercial vehicle.
