VRT on 4X4 and July?

mumhaabu

A friend has a 3.0l suv (trailer puller workhorse) which was imported from Northern Ireland, the vrt rate on "Category ‘B’ Vehicles e.g. Car Derived or Jeep Derived Vans" is coming to €1,100 at a VRT rate of 13.3%.

My question is will the July deadline affect this vehicle ie. will "Category ‘B’ Vehicles e.g. Car Derived or Jeep Derived Vans" move to a Co2 based system like private cars or will it remain unaffected?

My reason is my friend has this jeep parked in a shed since last Nov as their is no work for it since the slowdown and if the Co2 rules are going to affect Category B then the VRT for it will go from €1,100 to €2,923 as it spews out 274 g/km putting it in a 36% VRT band instead of 13.3% meaning the jeep should have the VRT paid on it in the next two weeks to avoid getting screwed by the benevolent dictators that are Fianna Fail.

The plan is to VRT it a tax it at €277/year commercial tax as it is a commercial "jeep", 4X4, SUV, whatever

Muchos Gracias Amigos :cool:

To my knowledge (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong) commercial vehicles remain unaffected by the VRT/tax changes.
