Hi Jimmy,

It’s an odd one — when you tax a commercial vehicle as a private car, it reverts from the CO₂-based tax system back to the old engine-capacity system, so it will depend on the engine that’s in the van. Just as a guide, 1.6 tax is €514 a year, 2.0-litre is €710 and 2.5-litre tax is €1,080.
