Question

Q:  I live in the Republic and have just taken over my parent’s farm in N. Ireland and have also acquired a N. Ireland registered car that is used for the farm work.  If I take this car home at nights and at the weekends will I have to pay the VRT and register it as a southern car?

Answer

A:  As your main residence is the Republic you will have to re-register the car in the Republic and pay any motor tax and VRT due if you plan to use it there.
