Is it possible to convert a commercial vehicle, category N1,  to a private vehicle category M1? Example: Toyota Hilux - if this has a vehicle category of commercial listed on the logbook then you need a category C driving licence, but if this can be registered as a private car and have private listed on the logbook then it can be driven on a category B driving licence.

Hi,

I have a 2009 Toyota Auris. I have to pay €160 per quarter. That seems way too high a tax to be paying for a 1.4 2009 Auris? I'd really appreciate it if you could shed some light on this for me.

Many thanks,

Nicola Dee

Hi,

I wonder if you can shed some light on this for me. So I have a Ford Transit crew cab and I have had to get it insured as a private vehicle with social domestic and pleasure cover. I have had to take it for a test as a commercial vehicle, it has a 2,198cc engine with emissions of 197g/km. I have gone to tax the vehicle and been charged €1,200, which is the CO2 emission rate, but according to your information given, if it’s a commercial vehicle being taxed privately the charge reverts back to the engine size, which is as mentioned above 2,198cc and a charge of €958 should have been implemented. Is your information correct and do Revenue owe me the difference?

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Any idea what the NOx charge on a 2015 Mercedes-Benz E 220 would be?

I bought a Volkswagen T5 to use for my surfboards and gear etc. I have to tax it now for the first time. What forms do I need if I am just using for personal use?

I am thinking of importing a 1990 (or earlier) Land Rover Defender 110 from the UK, but am unsure of the VRT charge and the cost of road tax and insurance or even where to get insurance from. Can I tax and insure a commercial 4x4 for personal use if it's 30 years old and vintage? I don't have a business that I can register it against and am just a regular PAYE worker. This will only be a run-around for me and my son so not big mileage. Any help with these queries would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I love MINIs and I wanted to trade my 2019 T-Roc 1.5 for a Countryman SE All4, the new facelifted one and the reason is I want to get better fuel economy and the joy of driving. But then my wife suggested I look at the Toyota RAV4 hybrid, which is much more practical, especially as we have an 18-month-old girl and soon another boy coming on the 20th of November. So, can you compare the RAV4 to the Countryman: which will be the best on fuel consumption? My average T-Roc consumption is 7.1 litres/100km.

Thank you so much.

When do I need to replace the timing belt on a 2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Trend powershift?

Can a farmer still use their herd number instead of a VAT no. to avail of commercial vehicle tax rate on a 4x4 like a Toyota Land Cruiser or Hilux etc? This was the case in the past but has this changed?
