VRT and tax on imported Toyota Hilux?

Hi,

I am relocating to Ireland (Co Cork) and I have purchased a Toyota Hilux pick up truck, but I am confused as to the rates of VRT. I will be starting a dog kennels business and using the truck for the business. Do I qualify for the €333 tax or is it something different? Car is a 67 plate bought in the UK, VAT paid, 2.2-litre automatic with 21,000 miles on the clock.

I really appreciate your help as it is very confusing on the Revenue website.

Many thanks

Mark

Where to fit my toll tag?

I have a Vauxhall/Opel Corsa and I just got a toll tag, but I'm not sure where I can place it on my windscreen where it will work properly. The guidance is to place it behind the rear view mirror in the shaded/dotted area, but I have an an athermic windscreen, which also has a panel behind the rear view mirror with a camera/sensor in it, so there isn't any space directly behind the mirror. There also isn't any shaded or dotted area anywhere on the windscreen.

Any ideas of where to put it?

Thanks

NCT or CVRT for privately taxed van?

I have bought a new Toyota Proace City 1.5 SWB van and I have taxed it and insured it for private use. The tax cost me €413. My query is, where do I get it tested when it comes up? Is it NCT or CVRT?  Which one is it classed for?

Thanking you

Dave
