Importing a commercial van from Holland

[richie]

Anyone actually know about this, my son wants to buy a 2022 Commercial van in Holland and bring it back to Ireland, he wants a LHD van as well as the savings that he could make.
I Find the VRT site confusing and misleading. To me it ultimately reads if it is a commercial van less than 3500KG it could just be, as before 200Euro
Then if you read on the same page, you should at 13.5 percent of the Irish price for VRT, but it seems to me this applies to minibus etc.

Does any one know????

Cheers

VRT Category B​

VRT Category B includes commercial vehicles, designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and not exceeding 3.5 tonnes. These vehicles are European category N1 and generally have three seats or less. VRT Category B also includes motor caravans. Further information on qualifying Category B vehicles can be found in VRT Manual 1A.

The VRT is generally 13.3% of the OMSP and the minimum due is €125.

However, some N1 vans are charged a charge of €200 if they:

• always had less than four seats
• and
• at any time a laden mass greater than 130% of the mass in service.

I’d suggest emailing the relevant department but they can be very slow replying. Well that’s my experience. In fairness, I’ve got a response just a few months later.
