A few weeks ago, I blogged about our new car which we bought in Northern Ireland and as such were technically importing a car in to the Republic of Ireland.
In order to get Irish plates and and Irish registration book, we needed to take the car to an NCT centre to have the car examined and then pay the vehicle registration tax that was due to the Irish government. This all needs to be done within 30 days of purchase.
I had made our appointment before we had even been up to Belfast to collect the car but even still we could only get one 2 weeks after buying the car.
Our appointment was for 11.30am and we were out of the NCT centre within half an hour or so and at that point we went straight to Halfords in Airside Retail Park to buy new registration plates which Ciaran straightaway fitted on the car.
The next thing we need to do is to pay our annual motor tax which we can do online from Tuesday onwards and then we will receive our log book in the post.
All has been quite smooth so far and I would have no issue buying in Northern Ireland again if the sterling rate is still in our favour.
