    Why not just buy a commercial and save yourself the headache?

    Also, unless you have a genuine reason to drive a commercial vehicle the powers that be are making it more and more difficult for joe blogs the private person to drive/tax a commercial.

    To begin with you'll need to fill this out taking this document into consideration :

    On a general note, to be taxed as a goods vehicle, the goods must be conveyed in the course of trade or business, including agriculture. Having regard to article 3 of the 1992 Regulations, which provides that a licensing authority must be satisfied that a vehicle is correctly taxed, the applicant, particularly in the case of small vans, crew cabs and adapted vehicles, may be asked to supply a copy of their “Notice of Tax Registration Form” issued by the Revenue Commissioners. This notice, copy enclosed, is a confirmation of registration for tax purposes. The format of the notice may vary but will be on Revenue headed paper and will cover the question of tax registration.
    You will also need to do the following :


    (A) The goods carrying area to be greater than the seating area, and

    (B) All seats to the rear of the driver’s seat to be removed and seat bolt holes welded over, and

    (C) All rear seat belts removed and seat belt anchor points welded over.

    I've outlined these in bold because I have known people to have been refused when they used something like filler, it has to have been done in such a way that it is NOT reversible.

    I'm sure I've forgotten a few things and there will be people along to point them out to you. From what I gather though unless you've a genuine reason to drive a commercial it's getting harder and harder to have one, they're really cracking down on the cheap tax.
