    Am I correct in thinking that only M1 classified vehicles can avail of classic road tax?

    I have an N1 classified 80 series Landcruiser (crew cab) that is approaching its thirtieth birthday and would love to get the road tax cheaper.

    Any ideas?

    Vintage and Veteran rate of €56 will apply once it’s 30 and no longer used for commercial purposes. No need to reclassify. 2 year CVRT too.

    Same thing applies for campervans too. The rate drops for them too at 30.

    Cui bono?

    Thank you very much for that info.

    Do you have any idea what proof they need that it's not being used commercially?

    Apologies, I got confused. You can get the tax without a problem. It’s the 2 year CVRT that only applies if you’re not using it commercially. You sign a declaration on the Test Centre when you’re getting the test done to get the 2 year cert.

    Should be more info on CVRT.ie.

    There aren’t too many land cruisers of that vintage left.

    Cui bono?

    Is there VAT to be paid when reclassifying a vehicle from commercial to private\vintage?

    Yes, and No, respectively.

    Commercial to private, yes. Commercial to vintage, no.
