Bringing home a UK car temporarily

[thethedev]

Hi there

I am a student studying in the UK.
I have a UK registered car that I use here.
I am hoping to bring it back for the summer months (june - august max)
Its registered to my address here in the UK but I have an Irish insurance policy.

Where would I stand in relation to VRT if I bring the car home for a temporary period.

Thanks

if you are a State Resident as defined in the above link you will not be allowed to do so, otherwise you will.

Well according to that I am still defined as resident in the state.

I don't quite get this. Just because I am a student I can't bring my car home without paying vrt even though its definetly going to be leaving the country again in a few months?

There must be some allowance.

I think in your situation you should go to the local VRT office and see if they will clear you for driving your car here over the summer.
