Why is my VW Caddy taxed so high?

The question
Why is my 151 VW Caddy €514 to tax for the year? It weighs under 3,000kg so the tax should be €333 instead.

Hi Aodhan,
The €514 rate is for engine sizes 1,501-1,600cc, which applies when a commercial vehicle is taxed for private use. If you are using the Caddy exclusively for business purposes, and can prove that, bring your documentation into your local motor tax office to have the details changed so that you can pay the regular commercial rate of €333.
