Customs duty does not apply to motor vehicles imported into the EU from any of the accession countries and this will continue to be the position after these countries become full members of the EU on 1 May next. With regard to vehicle registration tax, VRT, all motor vehicles, whether they are imported into the State from EU member states or non-member states, are subject to the payment of VRT on registration here. This position will not change after 1 May.
