Hi Michael,
If it's being used solely for business use then it can be taxed as a commercial for €333 per year. However, if it's for any private use whatsoever then it needs to be taxed privately. The rate is then determined by the van's engine size, no matter how new it is.
Hence, for a van with an engine of 1,501-1,600cc, the annual motor tax is €514.
