Holy . That's a lot of moulah. I guess business is picking up  2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

What taxes are a applied if you buy a pre-reg 'new' RR in England and drive it across? MY23 D350 HSE
On my 7th RR plus various other JLR vehicles

Almost similar to the Norwegian prices that is...

In addition to having a lower taxation in the UK, I think it's the home-market, UK buyers that have been treated the best by LR; In UK a lot of features are standard on the AB version - features that we outside the UK need to pay extra for: Paint, leather headlining, rims, ...

VRT (vehicle registration tax) must be paid on application to register the car in Ireland which is charged at 36% of the open market selling price. So in the case of the first one, about €82,000.
When I moved here from the UK i had a nice XF-s 3.0 l portfolio. It was 5 years old and they wanted €8800 in VRT. You can imagine my response.
I took it back to the UK and sold it there.
The road tax here is also extortionate. €2400 a year for a fatty. What really gets my goat is that the roads are so bad you need something like a fatty to navigate them without buying a new tyre and repairing a wheel every fortnight.  2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

Another reason. if needed, for the Jocks to stay in the UK.... just saying

36% is only on the highest CO2, these being 750e to tax would be a lower %.

If buying it in the UK would have to pay the VRT here than 23% VAT if the jeep is less than 6 months and 6,000 Kms, so a person would Ideally leave it in the UK for 6 months and have 6k on it come reg time in Ireland!

So, a quick check on the vrt calculator shows the rate to be 34%. The car configuration above comes in at 73,100euro. Not far off my educated guess. Road tax comes to 1200euro on a CO2 of 219.
Also, the hoops you have to jump through to dodge the vrt by keeping it in the UK is, in my experience, very difficult. Have you ever tried. I looked at the paperwork and thought, Naah can't be AR***d with that, so took it back.
You have so show that you have used it. Provide insurance documentation and fuel receipts. Proof of address with utility bills etc. It goes on and more than I can put up with. If you know another way, i'd love to hear it  2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

VRT is fairly locked down these days however N1 business class is now available on the L405 model so that's a big saving on tax and VRT. If you moved from the UK to Ireland no VRT will apply as long as you reach their critia.

Business is steady but starting a resturant in Cork so already looking to spend the ( envisaged) profits !!! 2015 4.4 AB

N1 business class. Does that mean crew cab or some other mod? I know the L322 can no longer be crew cabbed which is a grest pity. I missef the deadline by 2 weeks  2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

It is Grofus, my 3.6 was N1 ( 5 seat business class) and my 4.4 l322 is. Huge saving on tax. The guy I buy my cars from called in last week to tell collect a Cert of shipment for a Lambo we brought in for him and he told me its now possible. Since then i have seen two advertised as N1. I can ask him if he can get a l322 done if you like ? 2015 4.4 AB

Please do mate. I wouldn't be interested in the 2 seat conversion though only a crew cab.  2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

No prob , the N1 is the 5 seater one  2015 4.4 AB

If your jeep is registered as an Estate or M1 on VRT already or pay the full VRT on a new import, then crew cab is possible. Will only get away with this with full VRT paid otherwise they will come after you if only paid the 13.3% VRT (commercial) and potential of fines. It's a mine field and only open until July so need to be done quick

Beep Beep. What happened that the option was re-opened. Last I heard it was stopped in Jan 17! 2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal
