Please tell us how to reclaim VRT, as I have paid a fortune in VRT over the years
Colm , Over the years i too have paid waaaaayyyyy tooooo much , it used to be import duties , now its VRT ..
Every time i pay it i think it will be a great day , when someone cracks that the Irish State is illegally charging an import duty .
With all the shinannigans going on with Brexit , i am constantly hearing about the core values , of Free movement of Goods and services ,, and think WTF.........
But , We are not talking about VRT , we are talking about NMT , new means of transport , or when a vehicle is less than 6 months old or has less
than 6000Klms recorded.
There are a couple of Caveats to this . The Vehicle is EITHER older than 6 months old OR has covered less than 6000Klms.
The European law that very clearly states you cannot pay VAT on any goods Twice.
In my case i presented the Bike to pay Import duties , and was charged N.M.T. as well , which i refused to do.
I was given formal notice of intent to seize , within the 30 day rule . I had not put my case forward in time because i had only started to investigate the
circumstances , so had no choice but to pay VRT & NMT. When i had my case read , i presented a Case put forward by H.M.R.C. and was given a
full refund of NMT . Not a Cent off import duty .
