Calculate VRT for your Rolls-Royce with model-specific considerations.
Why Rolls-Royce is Popular in Ireland
Rolls-Royce is a British maker of ultra-luxury motor cars. They do get imported to Ireland, and getting the VRT right before you buy can save you a serious sum — these cars are not cheap to register. VRT is based on the Irish OMSP — the local market value, not your overseas price — so even a slightly lower-CO2 variant helps.

Rolls-Royce VRT Bands in Ireland
VRT in Ireland is charged on a CO2 percentage basis. The lower the CO2 emissions of your Rolls-Royce, the lower the rate. VRT bands run from 7% (up to 50g/km CO2) to 41% (191g/km and above), on a 20-band WLTP scale. Electric Rolls-Royce models receive up to €5,000 VRT relief (tapering to zero at €50,000 OMSP); plug-in hybrid relief ended on 31 December 2021.
Because Rolls-Royce offers ultra-luxury motor cars, buyers should compare the specific CO2 figure of each model rather than assuming all variants cost the same. Small differences in emissions can move a car between bands and change the VRT by several thousand euro.
Importing a Rolls-Royce to Ireland
Importing a Rolls-Royce from the UK or EU follows the standard Irish process: pay any applicable customs duty, pay Irish VAT at 23%, then present the vehicle at a Revenue VRT office with the registration document, proof of purchase, Certificate of Conformity, and NOx emissions data. Revenue assesses the OMSP and applies the CO2-based VRT rate. Allow two to four weeks for the full process.
Lower-CO2 and electric Rolls-Royce models are the smartest imports from a VRT perspective, while high-performance variants with emissions above 190g/km sit in the top 41% band and attract the highest charges.
Rolls-Royce VRT FAQs
How is VRT calculated on a Rolls-Royce imported to Ireland?
VRT on a Rolls-Royce uses the same CO2-based system as all Irish imports. Revenue assesses 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 receive up to €5,000 VRT relief (tapering to zero at €50,000 OMSP); plug-in hybrid relief ended on 31 December 2021.
Which Rolls-Royce model has the lowest VRT?
The lowest VRT applies to the lowest-CO2 Rolls-Royce models, especially electric variants that qualify for up to €5,000 VRT relief. The plug-in hybrid relief ended on 31 December 2021, so only fully electric models now get relief. Always check the official WLTP CO2 figure for the exact car.
Does importing a Rolls-Royce 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.
