Why Aston Martin is Popular in Ireland
Aston Martin has a certain image that appeals to buyers looking for something beyond the usual German options. The DBX SUV in particular has brought new buyers into the brand. But when you're importing a high-value sports car, VRT can be a notable cost — it's based on the Irish OMSP, not what you paid overseas, and at these price points the CO2 band really matters.

Aston Martin 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 Aston Martin models qualify for up to €5,000 VRT relief, tapering to zero at €50,000 OMSP. One thing worth knowing: the old plug-in hybrid relief scheme ended on 31 December 2021 and isn't available any more.
With Aston Martin's performance range, CO2 emissions vary notably between models and variants. That directly affects your VRT bill, so always check the specific figure before pricing up any import.
Importing an Aston Martin to Ireland
Importing an Aston Martin from the UK or EU follows the standard process: any customs duty that applies, Irish VAT at 23%, then a visit 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 process generally takes two to four weeks.
Lower-CO2 and electric models make the most sense from a VRT standpoint. High-performance variants sitting above 190g/km fall into the 41% band, which on a car like an Aston Martin can add a serious amount to the cost.
Aston Martin VRT FAQs
How is VRT calculated on an Aston Martin imported to Ireland?
It uses the same CO2-based system as all Irish imports. Revenue works out the OMSP, applies age-related depreciation (10% at 1-2 years up to 50% over 5 years), then charges the CO2-band percentage rate. Electric models get up to €5,000 VRT relief — the plug-in hybrid relief that existed before ended on 31 December 2021.
Which Aston Martin model has the lowest VRT?
Electric Aston Martin models qualify for up to €5,000 relief, so those are your best bet. For petrol models, it comes down to the CO2 figure — always check the official WLTP number for the exact car you're looking at.
Does importing a Aston Martin 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.
