    Just sent herself to tax the jeep, it's a 110 Commercial, and they told her she'd to go off and get it weighed before they'd tax it. Anyone come across this?

    Has it been tested?

    Did it used to be taxed privately?

    Unladen weight is needed for commercials, it is how the tax bands are calculated. DoE testers need an unladen weight to test it

    Yes, I've come across it for new and change of ownership commercials.

    I believe most offices don't insist on a new weight docket at change of ownership but Wicklow does and I notice you're in Wicklow.

    Yeah it has the test cert, due again in May, it's always been commercial, Landrover 110 Paneled commercial, not even roof windows.

    Quick Google search says she'll be tipping the scales at just under 2 ton, I thought it was over 3.6 tons you pay by weight?!

    Kinda strange that. Once it is under 3500 it is all the one price.

    They charge 20 quid here in Sligo to get weighed in Cold Chon. Make sure you go to a designated weigh station

    Had the same when I bought a primistar from new- Had to bring it to be weighed before I could tax it. I brought it to Greenstar just off the N11 at Bray. Its a big waste recycling plant and you sit your van on the weigh bridge that records the load weight of the trucks coming into the plant. Think it cost €25 4 years ago. They were on the ball and were used to people using the facility for this.

    Coming from Kilmacanogue take the slip after the Eniskerry turn. Its the one that brings you off at the Bray turn. Take a left at the roundabout and the plant is up there- a right turn on that roundabout would bring you back across the N11 and down into Bray by the river(river on your right, groups of shops on your left).
    I see your in Wicklow so it could be a runner.
