How is motor tax on a Transporter determined?

The question
l would like to buy a 5-9-year-old, previously owned diesel VW Transporter with crew cab for family sporting activities. I would be reregistering in ROI so would need to pay VRT. When it comes to motor tax, do I need to classify this as a private vehicle and if so is the yearly tax based on emissions or weight?

Hi Keith,
Neither I'm afraid. It will go by the engine size, as things for cars used to be before 2008. That's the case for privately taxing a commercial vehicle of any age, incidentally, aside from actual vintage commercials that is.
