Cost to tax a 3.0-litre Toyota Hilux pickup privately?
Why is my 151 VW Caddy €514 to tax for the year? It weighs under 3,000kg so the tax should be €333 instead.
l would like to buy a 5-9-year-old, previously owned diesel VW Transporter with crew cab for family sporting activities. I would be reregistering in ROI so would need to pay VRT.

I bought a 2016 BMW 5 Series (F10 2.0-litre diesel) from a garage and was thinking that the tax would be €200 for the year as I had the exact same car last year, but was a 2015 - tax band on CO2 emission was 111-120g/km.
Now when taxing the 2016 car the tax for the year it's showing as €600 for a year at CO2 emissions of 156g/km. It is a Jap import. I just want to make sure if there could be a mistake on the system or it is actually 156g/km emissions before I tax it?
