Why Alfa Romeo is Popular in Ireland
Alfa Romeo has a loyal following in Ireland — there's something about the Italian driving experience that appeals to people. The Giulia and Stelvio in particular get imported regularly. One thing to keep in mind: VRT in Ireland is worked out on the Irish OMSP, not the price you paid abroad, so a seemingly good deal can look different once you factor in the CO2-based VRT band.

Alfa Romeo VRT Bands in Ireland
Irish VRT works on a CO2 percentage system — lower emissions mean a lower rate. The 2026 bands run from 7% at the cleanest end up to 41% for the highest emitters. Here's the full breakdown: 0-50g/km is 7%, 51-80g/km is 9%, 81-85g/km is 9.75%, 86-90g/km is 10.5%, 91-95g/km is 11.25%, 96-100g/km is 12%, 101-105g/km is 12.75%, 106-110g/km is 13.5%, 111-115g/km is 15.25%, 116-120g/km is 16%, 121-125g/km is 16.75%, 126-130g/km is 17.5%, 131-135g/km is 19.25%, 136-140g/km is 20%, 141-145g/km is 21.5%, 146-150g/km is 25%, 151-155g/km is 27.5%, 156-170g/km is 30%, 171-190g/km is 35%, and anything at 191g/km or above hits the maximum 41%.
Electric Alfa Romeo models get up to €5,000 VRT relief, which tapers away to nothing at €50,000 OMSP. And just so you're aware — the old plug-in hybrid relief ended on 31 December 2021 and isn't available any more.
For petrol and diesel Alfa Romeo models, emissions vary across the range, and that directly affects your VRT bill. Check the specific CO2 of any model you're considering — a few grams here or there can push you into a higher band and cost you extra.
Importing an Alfa Romeo to Ireland
Bringing in an Alfa Romeo from the UK or EU means dealing with the standard Irish import process: any applicable customs duty, Irish VAT at 23%, then a trip to the Revenue VRT office with your registration document, proof of purchase, Certificate of Conformity, and NOx emissions data. Revenue sets the OMSP and applies the CO2-based rate. The whole thing typically takes two to four weeks.
Lower-CO2 and electric models make the most sense from a VRT perspective. High-performance variants with emissions above 190g/km hit the top 41% band, which adds up fast on pricey cars.
Alfa Romeo VRT FAQs
How is VRT calculated on an Alfa Romeo imported to Ireland?
It uses the standard CO2-based system for all Irish imports. Revenue looks at the OMSP, applies age-related depreciation (10% at 1-2 years up to 50% over 5 years), then applies the CO2-band percentage rate. Electric models can get up to €5,000 VRT relief — the old plug-in hybrid relief finished back in 2021.
Which Alfa Romeo model has the lowest VRT?
Electric models are your best bet for the lowest VRT, with up to €5,000 relief available. For petrol and diesel variants, it really comes down to the CO2 figure — lower is always cheaper. Check the official WLTP number for the exact car you're looking at.
Does importing a Alfa Romeo save money?
Importing can save versus Irish forecourt prices, but you must add VRT, any customs duty, and 23% VAT. Compare the total landed cost before committing.
