Importing a car from Northern Ireland… change of legislation !!

[Interstellar]

The v5 needs to have a N Ireland address.

Yes its registered in the north from Nov 2023 but v5 issued only two weeks ago

I’m thinking of doing this. Vehicle is in a company name in NI since 2021 (leased).
Can I 100% safely assume no VAT applies ?
How do I prove date of import ?

I spoke to an NI dealer yesterday who claimed that since January, they (the dealer) can import from GB and then sell to ROI customers who are only liable for VRT on the car. He claimed this was the result of the Windsor agreement and that he had sold many such cars to ROI customers.
