Are the Gardai / Customs / Revenue entitled to impound a UK registered vehicle that I am renting and driving in Ireland. The car has been rented from a UK based company. I have documentation to prove a rental agreement is in place and the the ownership of the vehicle resides with the UK based rental company. I have been told that VRT must be paid on the car as it is being used in Ireland by an Irish resident. I have been told that unless VRT is paid that the vehicle will be impounded.
I considered posting this message in the Car section of the site. However, I am more interested in the legal rights that the state has in this regard.
