Can I buy a van for private use?

I am looking at adding a second car to our household. I have spotted a Hyundai Kona 1.6 commercial van for a good price. It has two seats etc. which is no issue as we are a two-adult household with no kids.

This car is purely only for me for social domestic use and commuting to and from work. Can you please advise on whether it's possible to purchase a commercial vehicle and insure and tax it privately? I have no commercial need for this van, purely private use.

My company is selling the van to me. What do I do?

My company is selling the company van to me as a private individual. What are the steps?

1. Do I send the logbook to Dept of Transport as normal just stating company name as seller and my name as buyer?

2. Do I have to change the van tax from commercial to private?

3. I call insurance to change company insurance to private?

Anything else I have to do?

Can we use a commercial Land Rover privately?

Hello

We are looking at buying a 2015 Land Rover crew cab [a five-seater] Discovery from a family relation. He owns the car and pays commercial tax rate of €333/year. My wife and I are employed in the private sector and do not own a company.

We want to know:

1. If we buy the car and use it for day to day commute, dropping kids to creche etc, can we still avail of the €333 tax rate?

2. Is it possible for us to take out insurance on the vehicle whilst availing of the tax rate above?

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks
