The relief from the payment of Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) is provided for under the Finance Act 1992, s.134(1)(a) and Vehicle Registration Tax (Permanent Reliefs) Regulations 1993, Reg 4, (S.I. No. 59/93). In order to qualify for relief an applicant must meet a number of eligibility criteria including the possession and actual use of the vehicle outside the State for at least six months prior to their transfer of residence.

I am advised by Revenue that additional information was requested from the person concerned on 31 March 2017 as part of Revenue’s consideration of an application for relief. This information is still awaited by Revenue and will be considered when it is received.
