importing a vintage car to ireland
Bringing a classic car from abroad can be a dream come true. However, navigating Revenue’s regulations for Vintage Car Import can feel tricky. Here at ICLS, we can help ensure a smooth journey.
The good news: vintage cars (over 30 years old) enjoy zero duty! But there’s still a 23% VAT to consider. To qualify for this benefit, your car must meet three key criteria:
- Classic Age: Be at least 30 years old from the date of manufacture.
- Out of Production: No longer be in active production. Proof of model discontinuation and edition number might be required.
- Original Condition: Maintain a largely original state, with only essential repairs allowed. Modifications like engine swaps, tire changes, color alterations, or interior upgrades can disqualify the car from vintage status and lead to a 10% duty charge.
ICLS can guide you through the process and ensure your cherished vintage car meets all the requirements for a hassle-free import experience. Let us handle the paperwork and regulations, so you can focus on the joy of getting behind the wheel of your classic beauty.
