The popularity of camper vans in Ireland has led to a shortage of used models, driving interest in imports. Post-Brexit, imports from the UK have become more complex, but Japanese models like the Mazda Bongo offer alternatives. Importers must pay 13.3% Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT), plus potential VAT and customs duties. A lower 8% VRT rate applies to models with CO2 emissions below 120g/km, such as the VW California PHEV.
