commercial vehicle

I am looking at buying a 2012 ‘L322’ Range Rover from NI; can I tax it for commercial tax if I have a VAT number and I have my own business?

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?

I would like to buy a van in Northern Ireland and take it to the Republic of Ireland. Some traders state that VRT can be paid for as little as €200. Is this correct? How is this being achieved and is it legitimate?

Hi,

I am planning to convert a panel van to crew cab and use it for commuting to office and use for private and social commuting with family. Can you please suggest the process involved?

Thanks

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

Hi,

Currently driving a 2010 LWB Toyota Land Cruiser (commercial). Now with the arrival of two small boys, I cannot bring them with me when driving. Can I change it from commercial to business/passenger and if so what is the process for same?

I am looking into getting a car and I am wondering, how do I check if a vehicle was originally manufactured/sold as an N1, or if it was sold/manufactured as a M1 then converted to a N1?

Is there any update on the Ford Ranger hybrid?

I'm looking at buying a Ford Transit Connect LWB 1.5L (2018-2020 ish). I'm going to be using it privately, travelling Ireland with boards and camping stuff in the back. I'm unsure of how to go about taxing and insuring it privately. I'm getting quotes at the moment but it's looking more complicated than I had anticipated.

Few questions here:

1. Do I need to do anything to switch the van from commercial to private use? I've heard about possible VRT, but I can't seem to find any info online about that apart from imported vehicles.

2. Is taxing and insuring as straightforward as doing so with a regular car? I'm aware that AXA who I’m currently with for a car won't privately insure me in a van so I'm checking with insuremyvan.ie

3. CVRT - I know it's more expensive than NCT and is yearly, but is this as simple to get done?

4. Are there any other problems that I might run into if I do buy a van to use privately? I'm pretty clueless on how any of this works.

Hi,

I see that you answered a previous question asking about changing a commercial Kuga to a private vehicle. Your answer was yes but the tax would go by the old cc (engine size) taxation method. Is it possible to change from commercial tax to the newer CO2 system?
