    I just bought a new BMW X5 and commercialised it and saved a fortune on VRT. I think you can commercialise any hatchback or estate. Before you could just get it weighed and fill out a form for change of use, DOE test it and you could tax commercially and leave the seats in it, I did it this way with my last Range Rover and my BMW 530 d touring and never had any hassle with it. The best way to do it is to commercialise it before you register it in Ireland, this should work with any import, Japanese or from the U.K.

    Hi Junkyard , Its so hard to get definitive answers on this topic
    I want to do what I think you may have done i.e buy Merc 320 d estate in UK bring it in ,convert it to commercial , pay vrt and doe it . Is the vrt €50.0 or 13.5% of market price, do I need to panel the windows or will black out do . I have seen Santa fees with clear glass. I heard somewhere that this requirment may have changed on safety grounds
