Moving to Ireland from UK - First Few Months

[158820]

Hi - after much searching on the internet, I’m really struggling to find a straight answer....

I am moving to Dublin soon to start a new job -for the first 3 months, work are paying for some temporary accommodation. It is my intention to bring my UK registered car with me for ease and pop back to the UK occasionally on weekends.
As soon as I move over, I will become an Irish Taxpayer as I will be working for an Irish company - I will still maintain a home in the UK which I own with Mrs158820.

I see that Revenue in Ireland class you as a “resident” if you spend more than 185 days a year in Ireland, which is apparently when you have to pay VRT?

My insurance and finance agreement allows me to be in Ireland for 90 consecutive days; however, what’s the deal with VRT?
It’s my intention to get rid of this car in the UK by time I reach 185 days of residency.

In summary, what I am trying to ascertain is how long can I drive my UK registered car in ROI without having to pay VRT.


Thank you!
