Van VRT FAQs
When do the new van VRT rates start?
The new CO₂-based rates for Category B vans begin in July 2025. Before then, most small vans pay a flat €200 VRT.
Will my van VRT be higher after July 2025?
Depends on your van's value and emissions. Low-value vans with high emissions might pay less, while high-value vans will likely pay more than the current €200.
Do electric vans get special VRT rates?
Electric vans qualify for the lower 8% rate due to zero emissions, but they don't get the €5,000 relief that electric cars receive.
What's the difference between Category B and Category C?
Category B are small vans and light commercials with CO₂-based VRT. Category C are large commercial vehicles with flat €200 VRT.
