Can I buy a VW Transporter in 2021?

I would like to buy a Volkswagen Transporter in 2021. I do not have business or VAT numbers. I know I can insure it privately, but can I tax it privately and if so for roughly what money?

Why do I pay €385 on tax for my Peugeot?

Good morning,

Just wondering why I pay €385 a year for my 2006 Peugeot diesel 1.4 that was registered in the Republic about six years ago? CO2 emissions are 120g/km. So according to your chart it should be €200.

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Kinga

Is a converted camper cheap to tax?

Hi there,

I'm moving back to Ireland from UK with a 2006 VW Caravelle. I'm currently converting it to a campervan. Once it is converted would it then qualify to pay low motor road tax like the VW California? This is my only vehicle.

Many thanks!

Which emissions rating for tax on this Merc?

If I buy in December a 2016 Mercedes E-Class with 94g/km CO2 emissions and 55mg/km NOx does it mean Revenue will uplift my CO2 to 120g/km but NOx stays as it is? And does it mean that my tax per year will be based on 94- or 120g/km?

Regards

Will older cars benefit from 2021 tax changes?

My understanding was that cars registered in the past couple of years had their emissions tested under the new WLTP system. Let's say a car registered in 2019 would be taxed at a higher rate than the exact same make that was registered in 2016. Will the cars registered in 2019 or 2020 benefit from the motor tax changes in the recent budget?

Thanks,

Noel
