VRT on VW T4 Camper

Rich_Murf

Hi There,

I am looking at purchasing a T4 and am just doing up the costings.

My understanding is that the T4 would be under 3,000kg in weight so would not classify as a camper on that basis.

I am planning to have a small hob and basin in it. But the T4, I understand is less than 1.8m tall....so where does that leave me then? Would I have to pay for standard commercial tax on the van?

I did a simple calculation here: https://www.ros.ie/evrt-enquiry/vrtenquiry.html?execution=e5s1 and the total tax came in at 1300!

I am sure / hope somebody has some kind of solution for this?

Any advice

Thanks,
Rich

What Specs have you got for the van, I've got 299

Thanks for your prompt response.

I re-ran the calculator using your specs but changed the registration date to Jan 2002, only.

Tax is now coming out at €851 based on a market price (OMSP) of €6,404.

In my view that market price is way above a current 2002 VW 2.5 TDi.

I have had a read through some of the posts here on Boards now....

Is it a case of simply arguing the market value of the van with Revenue with relevant backup docs, ie receipts, sample for sale ads of other similar vans etc?

Cheers

The Roslare VRO office handel campers and there may have been a change in the rules regarding the rate for under 1.8 meters in height. Give them a call. If you do a propper conversion that at least you might get the lower road tax.
