Hi all,

Apologies if this has been covered before and I missed it.

According to revenue the new motor tax rates apply to “NEW PRIVATE CARS registered on or after 1 January 2021”.

Does this include pre-January 2021 cars imported from say the UK, if they are only registered in Ireland (VRT paid and put on Irish plates) post-January 2021? A dealer mentioned to me that this was the case and I was a bit surprised by it, so would be good to know if anyone had any insight?
