Coach VRT - Commercial Vehicle Classification
Coaches and buses benefit from commercial vehicle VRT rates, which are substantially lower than passenger car rates. The exact rate depends on seating capacity, intended use, and environmental factors.
Coach Categories and Typical VRT
- School Buses: €4,500-€8,500 VRT (often qualify for education reliefs)
- Tourist Coaches: €8,000-€15,000 VRT (luxury models higher)
- City Buses: €6,500-€12,000 VRT
- Intercity Buses: €7,500-€14,000 VRT
- Double Deckers: €12,000-€25,000 VRT
Special Considerations
- Wheelchair accessibility can reduce VRT by up to 25%
- Electric and hybrid buses get significant VRT reductions
- Public service operators may qualify for additional reliefs
- School transport gets favorable treatment
Operator License Required
You need appropriate operator licenses for commercial bus operation. Factor licensing costs and timeframes into your import planning.
