How much to tax a Ford Ranger 2.0 privately?
I'm thinking of buying a Ford Ranger Wildtrak (2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel, 205hp, 10-speed automatic).
I would like to know what it costs to tax this privately. I know if you have a VAT number or herd number it's €333. I have been to three different Ford garages and got three different answers.
a) It falls into tax band with CO2 of 171-190g/km, which is €790 a year;
b) It falls into 191-225g/km, which is €1,250 a year and;
c) It has a 2.0-litre engine which costs €710 a year to tax
Can you confirm please?

Which tax rate for an imported 2004 Toyota Hilux?
Hi,
I hope to import a 2004 Toyota Hilux 2.4 D-4D from the UK. Can you tell me if I would pay motor tax by engine size? Or would it be classed as being first registered upon the year of import, say next year, therefore I'd pay motor tax based on its emissions?

How much to privately tax an electric van?
I have read the posts about buying a van for private use and being subject to higher tax. How does the old legislation deal with electric vans in that situation?

How much to tax my VW Transporter as a camper or privately?
Hello.
My 152 VW Transporter van is a 4Motion 2.0-litre. It's commercial at the moment and annual tax is 333 euro. I'm thinking of converting it into a camper.
Can you tell me how much the tax would be on this van when converted into a camper? And how much the tax would be for private use?
Thank you for any help. It's much appreciated.
