probably is but I personally wouldn't begrudge it..If you are jealous enough then by all means report him.
It sounds like the original poster is jealous that the person he knows is driving a top of the range SUV. What difference does it make if it's a banger or top of the range suv. Would he be thinking about reporting the fella if it was an old banger.
I wouldn't begrudge the guy with the UK plates on his car because I as a tax payer believe that VRT is an unfair if not illegal tax.
Yes, it is fraud.Is this arrangement legal or does this constitute VRT fraud?
If the main driver specified on the policy is not in fact the main driver, then it is insurance fraud too.I presume the UK insurance is fine given that it is within the EU?

About €30k worth of VRT - would be non sensical to go to such measures for a banger.What difference does it make if it's a banger or top of the range suv.
Yes, it is fraud.
If the main driver specified on the policy is not in fact the main driver, then it is insurance fraud too.
that is why it looks like fraud, if the person who was living in the uk and moved to ireland (probably didnt in this case) registered the car in ireland there would be no vrt.-technically its not fraud as the person bringing it from the uk would presumably not have to pay vrt if they lived & worked in the uk prior to moving here.
They should however of registered it upon arriving so that they could pay road tax.

yes - looks like fraud -
I'm sorry but if there are loopholes there to use - fair play to the person in using them.
I have wrote a letter to the E.U regarding this and they have replied that they have requested that the governement cease such practices...
Its only by peoples refusal to abide by this unfair tax system will the current unlawfull practice be highlighted.
I don't think there are loopholes.. just lack of enforcement for whatever reason and people taking a chance.
Is your real name Dempsey?
Until this tax is officialy abolished, poeple must pay it, end of story, as to whether they like it or not. Otherwise, it is the start of anarchy.
I believe that i am unfairly taxed at 41% as if i was living in an other european country i would may be only pay say 28%.. Does that give me any rights to refuse paying income tax in Ireland?
IMO, if one does not like the tax rules of Ireland, he/she can freely go and live & reside in another european country having tax rules that are more to his/her satisfaction. In the mean time, they are owed to pay their fair share of tax.
I presume the UK insurance is fine given that it is within the EU?
this is not correct - a person who has resided in the UK and brings thier personal car with them when moving to Ireland is exempt from VRT.
They have to show proof of previous UK residency and cannot dispose of the vehicle for a period of time (think its 6 months)
This has no relevance to the case the OP mentioned, as the car in question is still driving on the UK plates.precisely
VRT is not due
.... the exemption requires ownership in the UK for six months and ownership in Ireland for 12 months before the sale of the car, but even with the exemption the car must be registered here in Ireland.They still have to register with Revenue and get an Irish number plate, just that that they are exempt from the payment of the tax
