Road Taxation Ireland

Post by fairky »

I was speaking to a mate of mine the other day and he was in trying to tax his Van and the tax office wouldnt allow him to tax it at the commercial rate and they charged him the full Taxaion Rate for engine capacity €580 for the year. I did a bit of digging and found this. So looks like there might be a few Caddy's up for sale soon

Circular Letter MT 4/2010

10th August 2010


Taxation of Goods Vehicles and Adapted Goods Vehicles


Dear Authorised Officer,

It has come to our attention that an increasing number of vehicles have changed their tax class from private to adapted goods.

Your attention is drawn to circular MT 10/2005, copy attached, which deals with this issue. It is essential that all motor tax offices follow all the guidelines laid out in this circular, in particular in relation to inspection of the vehicle and the “used for the conveyance of goods or burden in the course of trade or business” condition.

Having regard to Article 3 of the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) (Amendment) Regulations 1992, which provides that a licensing authority must be satisfied that a vehicle is correctly taxed, the applicant, in particular in relation to small vans and adapted goods vehicles, should be asked for supporting documentation which can include but is not limited to:
 evidence of registration for VAT;
 a Tax Clearance Certificate;
 a commercial insurance certificate;
 a copy of their “Notice of Tax Registration Form”.

Form RF 111A Goods Declaration Form has been revised and is attached. This supersedes the previous version issued. It now requires an applicant who is applying for a vehicle to be taxed at the goods rate to provide a Revenue registration identity number to confirm that he or she has a business registered for tax purposes. All applicants should be asked to complete this form and be made aware that if the vehicle is used in any private capacity it must be taxed at the private rate. Please note the wording must not be changed on this form.

It is, of course, open to a motor tax office to seek additional documentation from the applicant if required.

Your co-operation in this matter is appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
