You have to pay VAT at 21% in ROI irrespective of whether you paid VAT elsewhere (if the vehicle is less than 6 months old). However the way that it worked for me was that I signed a VAT exemption form at the dealer in NI so I did not have to pay the 17.5% NI/UK VAT. In the ROI you then pay your 21% vat on the dealers invoice price (converted to euros). For my purchase, the vehicle cost £20,000. This converted to €25400. 21% VAT on this brought the price to €30734. I had to pay €13807 in VRT which left the car at €44541. The top spec version of the same vehicle here is list at €48750 and the best cash price quote I got was €45000. As I mentioned below, the top spec version here has considerably less equipment than the UK version and that was my main reason for purchasing up north.
