Guys,

Is there any other form that i need to get or is it just the log book etc??

I dunno but you can claim current vrt less 500 so it should be 1k in your pocket if it's the m3.

You can get a vrt refund if the car is being permanently exported. I'm sure its current vrt less 500 "admin fee " I haven't done it but I hear you have to jump through a few hoops with the vrt crowd but it'd be worth it. If the car ever comes back south again vrt is liable.

Are you sure its not only the original owner that paid the vrt that can claim it back or is it me(last irish owner)?

Suppose il ring revenue tomorrow

Yea I'm sure, once the car wasn't brought in as vrt exempt which it wasn't.

Here's some insight into how it works : http://www.backroads.ie/forums/showthread.php?t=13622

Just reading about it on the revenue site. States that i have to put the car through an nct inspection at the cost of €32. Then a reciept will be issued stating value etc.

Bit hard when the guy is coming down in the next day or so!

It might be worth trying to rush it through or put him off for a week

Wonder is it just a valuation inspection or is it an actual test and if it failed no rebate etc.

Il ring in the morning.
