    Mate has registered an LDV from UK with the idea of modifying the interior to live in some of the year in Mayo Ireland (He lives there now)

    Has just found out that since its not a commercially used vehicle his road tax is £1000.GBP
    can this be right

    sounds a pretty remarkable figure as He was expecting it be a lot lower

    WOW

    any idea what the thinking is behind that,
    not as though its a high emissions/BHP vehicle

    It's a ford transit in a different shell. Tax rate for emissions are based on engine size not fuel type, vehicle weight, efficiency, usage or actual emissions..go figure...

    Camper tax is flat rate ~€100

    To be honest you'd buy an ldv converted registered as a camper for that kind of money they're a very unrefined lump more like a massey ferguson than a modern van, kingpins and cotter pins!

    I think he likes his vehicles old school TBH, not my thing at all,

    so to clarify then: a trade vehicle plumber/sparky/gardener pay one rate
    a registered camper a flat rate
    but a van pretending to be a camper attracts super tax bracket ,
    thats mental!

    And He thought Garda stop 'trade vehicles' and check for signs of domestic use like shopping etc,
    also saying you were a trade you'd need to provide VAT registration cert etc,
    so looks like He's messed up on this one
