VRT on Coupe Cars
Coupes are sporty two-door cars. VRT depends on OMSP and CO2; performance coupes with high CO2 can reach the 35-41% bands, while efficient coupes stay lower. Electric coupes pay just €5,000.
Coupe VRT Factors
- Performance: higher CO2 increases the rate
- OMSP: premium coupes have higher values
- Relief: electric coupes get the €5,000 rate

More Coupe Imports and VRT Costs
Coupes make up a small share of Irish imports, but they're popular with buyers who want something sporty without the SUV price tag. The most common coupes coming into Ireland are German-built — BMW 4 Series, Mercedes C-Class Coupe, and Audi A5 — because they're widely available in the UK and Germany with WLTP-tested CO2 data. Japanese coupes like the Nissan Z and Toyota Supra also appear, though in smaller numbers.

When importing a coupe from the UK, remember that 10% customs duty applies post-Brexit. A €45,000 coupe becomes €49,500 before you even add VRT or VAT. Budget for the full landing cost and compare it against the same model available in Ireland — sometimes the savings are slimmer than you'd expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is VRT on a coupe?
Coupes pay 7-41% of OMSP based on CO2. Performance coupes with high emissions pay the most.
Why is VRT high on a Porsche coupe?
High OMSP and high CO2 push the rate to 41%, so VRT is a large percentage of value.
Do electric coupes pay VRT?
Electric coupes such as the Tesla Model S pay the €5,000 relief rate.
