Hi Padraic,

It's an annoyingly weird quirk of the current motor tax system I'm afraid. I'm presuming this is a Business Edition Pajero?  Technically that's a commercial vehicle with seats, but you've obviously done the legally correct thing and declared it as a family vehicle for tax purposes. When you do that, the tax on such a car switches from the CO2-based system to the old engine capacity system and so you end up paying €1,809. Why? Because Ireland.
