Can I convert an extended-cab Toyota Hilux to a commercial for importation?

Can I import a Citroen van and keep it as a commerical?
A family member is gifting a 2009 Citroen Berlingo van commercial (Northern Ireland reg) to me.
To register the van do I need to have a business (i.e. a VAT no.) to keep it as commercial? Or is there a process whereby I can keep it commercial as I will be using it for my daily work and not get caught financially by having to register it as a private vehicle?
Do I need a bill of sale/receipt or will my name on the logbook suffice?
Really looking to keep the costs down to make it worthwhile registering the van here in the south.
All information gratefully received

Can I tax a Hilux commercially for towing horses?
I want to buy a Toyota Hilux, purely for towing a horsebox. I have a car already in my name that will remain as my day-to-day get around. I am floored at the thought of paying over €1,000 tax per year for something that will only be used at the weekends and the odd job of bringing hay and feed up from the co-op.
Is there any way I can commercially tax this? I have an equine herd number and am one of probably the few genuine cases where I will only be using it with a horsebox attached.
Can we add windows to our van without paying more tax?
Hi,
We have a Peugeot Partner van used for business purposes, tax €333 and I was wondering if we removed the door panels in the back doors to replace them with glass panels would it affect the amount of road tax? It will be still used for commercial purposes. Just a better view for driving and reversing.
