Can I tax my SUV as a commercial?

I want to tax my jeep commercial as we use it for towing and general work what's my best way of going about this and does it cost much?

Our answer:

Hi Niall,

The standard annual motor tax rate for a commercial is €333, but vehicles taxed like that cannot be used for any private reason whatsoever. It's not possible to just tax any SUV as a commercial, either, as there are rules defining what a commercial SUV is. Finally, you will need to have some documentation to show Revenue that the vehicle is indeed used for business purposes. This can take a variety of forms, depending on the nature of your work.
