Hi Timmy,
With a 2.0-litre engine, on the old by-engine-capacity tax system, you’re looking at €710 a year for tax.
I need to tax a 151 Caddy privately...
Can I tax a 151 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6 75hp private? If so, how much? What do I need to tax this vehicle?

Hi Kenneth,
You can tax it privately, and all you need to do is to ring up your local motor tax office (you can look yours up here) and tell them that you want to tax a van as a private vehicle. You’ll be shifted on to the old by-engine-capacity tax system and so, with a 1.6-litre engine, you’ll have to pay €514 per year.
Can I tax and insure a Caddy van privately?
Hi, help needed: I bought a Caddy van for carrying the dog and bicycles. Could not get private insurance so had to get commercial instead. My problem is I cannot tax it as a commercial vehicle as I have no VAT number. Question: can I tax it as a private vehicle at €514?
Cheers
A

Hi Adrian,
Yes, you can. Or at least, you certainly should be able to. Simply ring up your local motor tax office and they should be able to just transfer you to the old engine-capacity tax system. On the insurance front, have you tried getting a good broker? They can often find deals that we orindary humans cannot.

Is a five-seat Defender a commercial?
Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a 2013 Defender 110 2.2D XS Utility Wagon (five seats). I have read here that you can tax a commercial vehicle privately and the tax is determined by the older pre-2008 tax bands based on engine size. That would make the tax €951, which is a lot lower than if it was based on emissions. My question is, is a five-seat Utility wagon considered a commercial? As I recall, there was a clamp down on 'crew cabs' for this tax process.
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
There was indeed a clampdown on crew-cabs and five-seat SUVs qualifying for commercial rate VRT and tax, but being as (a) this Defender pre-dates the clampdown and (b) it has a separate and un-glazed cargo compartment, it should just squeak through.
Are pick-ups same as vans for BIK?
Hi,
I'm considering buying a 2008 Toyota Hilux double cab under a limited company and paying the BIK for private use as well. Do pick-ups fall in the same five per cent category as vans in Ireland?
Thank you

Hi Jakub,
It certainly should do, but my advice would be to check carefully with the company’s accountant before proceeding.

Hi Bryan,
With a commercial vehicle, if you tax it privately, you’re put back on the old engine-capacity tax system, so that’s going to be €951 a year to tax.

Expert answer
Hi Alaina,
You can, but some buyers have found it difficult to get private insurance for vehicles that are generally defined as commercials. As ever, Irish insurance companies like to throw obstacles in your path… My advice would be to get hold of a good broker who can possibly help you navigate the system.
Warning lights on my Fiat 500L...
Hi,
I was going up hill to join a motorway and I’m guessing I was in too high gear, then my warning light and engine light came on and then a message telling me that to stop-start had been deactivated. The warning lights remained for the rest of the journey. Can you tell me what happened? I have a 2013 Fiat 500L.
Thanks

Hi Tanya,
It sounds to us like the alternator may have been struggling to produce enough electrical power and that perhaps your battery could do with replacement. If the problem has not reoccurred then it's nothing to worry about, but no harm getting your battery checked before winter sets in.
