    No you can't tax it commercial as you aren't using it commercially and you will have to ring around all the company's to see who will give you the best deal, a company cheap today can be expensive tomorrow as they constantly adjust risk.

    Your shouldn't have a problem if you're self employed or get a letter from employer. Herd number also sufficient

    we are not allowed to advise people to commit illegal acts. This guy may have grounds to get commercial tax, most people asking on here don't.

    OP : ask the people down at Shannon
