Steph Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi, I have started my search to buy a van in France. I'm aware that there is a road tax on vans in France. Does anyone have any information about this, ie. is it on the size of the van, engine size etc. I am looking for a panel van .. renault master, sprinter or transit style so a medium sized one and not a little one. Don't want to find a bargain and then it turns out it's a bargain 'cos it's in a higher tax bracket. I'm sure some of you builders out their will be able to help!?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Be prepared to pay a lot more money than you would in the UK. For a van with low mileage, <5 years old you are looking at 8-9000€, even 10 year plus vans ex EDF or similar with 200,000 KM on the clock are in excess of 3000€. Have a look on E bay France.To quote a post today in Finance, "If you are a registered business in France and have four or more company vehicles then you pay a vignette (road tax)" Other than that there is no tax on a single van. when you register and get your carte grise you pay you pay a scale charge according to CV/HP.

Have just bought a car on ebay and that's where I'm looking for a van. However, though prices are high for cars I don't think the price for vans is too bad compared to the uk! So, to confirm are you saying that for a single van there is no equivalent of road tax to pay, just the taxes when you register?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val_2 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 In case you didn't know, all large vans of four years and over have to have a contrôle EVERY year for emissions tests as well as the usual two-year CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
