“I am planning to buy a Honda Civic Hybrid in Ireland and would like detailed information about the VAT involved in the purchase. How much net of VAT will I be required to pay, and what is the current VAT rate that applies to hybrid vehicles? I would also like to know at what stage of the buying process the VAT must be paid, whether it is included in the advertised price or paid separately, and how the payment is made (for example, through the dealer or directly to Revenue). Additionally, could you explain if the VAT rules are different for new versus used vehicles, or if there are any exemptions, reductions, or special procedures that apply to hybrid cars in Ireland?”

 

I’m fairly certain that your VAT inquiry is misplaced in a mostly North American Honda forum.
