Don't think that's true. Id say most sheep farmers on here have a commercially taxed vehicle.

There can be issues if the jeep isn’t used for full time farming. Issue not specific to sheep farmers imo

I don’t know, turn up at a sheep mart or factory and you’ll see some lads using the family car and small trailer

1. If you are a farmer and the herd owner, you may submit documentary evidence from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine showing your herd number. A letter or document from the Department which is less than 2 years old which shows your name and address and your herd number.

Mayo Motor Tax does not accept “Herd keeper” the applicant must be the “Herd owner”.

I know one guy that got commercial tax because he had 25 hens and a poultry number, I also know a farmer that got it very hard to get a Mazda crewcab jeep commercial so it depends on the county

Yes a friend recently phoned Mayo road tax section and was told that sheep or horses would not qualify as a farming enterprise for commercial tax

I doubt that would stand up if challenged. Can’t have different LA’s having different criteria

Do you know any ''genuine'' farmer that has been refused, I never heard of one being refused commercial tax,
