How much to tax a Toyota Hilux 3.0?

Hi,

I'm an approved seasonal none VAT-registered angling guide with the tourist board and need to upgrade from my old commercial L200 pick-up truck and was thinking of buying an 06 Vigo Toyota Hilux 3.0,  UK-plated. But I hear it is now very difficult to get commercial tax and if I tax it privately what would it cost plus the duty?

Thanks.

What tax for private Ford Ranger?

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a 2016-present Ford Ranger 2.2 TDCi manual for private use as it is a more suitable vehicle for my hobbies. I am aware that to re-register it in Ireland I have to pay the difference in VRT between the fixed commercial rate at circa 13% and the private VRT value (around 31% I believe, depending on CO2). But I am unsure of how the private tax works. Will it be €750 (171g/km with current motor tax system) or €994 (2.2-litre engine with old tax system)?

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi,

Is it normal that my tax is €750 a year on a 2009 VW Jetta 1.6 petrol? If this is correct, I was wondering why it is so high?

Thank you
