Is this commercial tax right?

I was looking at a Mitsubishi l200 year 2013 on carzone the dealer claimed the tax bracket was b2 and it could be taxed private for 280 Euro Is this true Thanks for your help

Our answer:

Hi David,

No, that’s not right. If you’re taxing a commercial vehicle as a private car, then you revert to the  old by-engine-capacity tax system, which means that with a 2.5-litre engine, you’ll be paying €1,080 a year. Commercial tax is €330 a year, but that’s strictly for business use — no dropping the kids to school.
