Trouble is no-one knows what the revenue deem the OMSP to be on oddball cars.

    €10k isn't a registration fee, it's a sham and everyone knows it.

    It's an illegal tax, supposed to be no import/export taxes/duties within EU.

    The Revenue Commissioners are also equally quick at refunding VAT (at least to an Irish business account, if you are registered for VAT in Ireland).

    I have the PDF of the conversation. That will do me fine.
    They will still contact you and you will have to (try to) convince them using that PDF.
