Motor tax for imported Defender Utility?
Hello,
I have a Land Rover Defender 110 Utility, which is classed as a commercial vehicle in the UK with road tax of £240 a year. I use it for personal use and want to bring it home to Ireland. I've owned it for more than six months. It's in Band G for CO2 emissions so I'm horrified to see the motor tax in Ireland for it is €2,350. But, your article says if it's commercial and personal use it's a different scale. It has a 2.2-litre diesel engine. Do you know how much the tax is?

Is it just €358 to tax my small van?
Hi,
I just read your article on vehicle tax in Ireland. I have a small van and was thinking of using it as my daily mode of transport. Am I correct in saying that I will only pay €358 on a 1.3-litre engine size?
