Looking at buying a Ford Ranger...

Hi,

I'm looking at buying a Ford Ranger 2.2 TDCi for use with my work. As I will be purchasing the vehicle will it need to be taxed and insured privately even though I would be using it to assist myself with work? If I can buy the vehicle personally, will a company then be penalised with benefit in kind even though I have bought it?

Is VRT €200 on importing some vans?

Hi,

I plan to import a 2018 VW Transporter van from the UK. This van has front seats only with bulkhead (not a Kombi). It's a standard, SWB, manual 2.0-litre van. Am I right in thinking that the VRT on these vans is €200?

Thanks

Will my Japanese import cost a lot for NOx?

I have a three-cylinder 0.6-litre petrol 'kei car' coming from Japan that was never sold in Europe. Will this be hit with the max fine of €600 NOx charge as there is no NOx reading available, or is there anything that can be done to avoid paying this crazy charge when it should only be a a few Euro for an engine so small?
