Commercial Vehicle Tax

Ade 8 May 2008 17:47:17
 I've just had a Navara pickup as my company vehicle and fitted a cover to
the back, which I was told would not affect the status of the vehicle in
terms of classification as a commercial vehicle as the vehicle could still
carry in excess of 1000kg.
Since doing this, someone has advised me that this might not be the case.

Can anyone advise.

AFAICT fitting a "truckman" type top or a permanent _rigid_ cover *might*
change the vehicle status. HMRC subtract 45kg (the deemed weight of the top
or cover) from the manufacturer's declared payload to arrive at the
effective payload. If the effective payload is under 1000kg, it's a car for
tax purposes! However, I do wonder about the case where you, personally,
buy and fit the cover.

However, things are changing anyway in April with a massive increase in the
taxable benefit in kind for vans (which would include your Navara). For tax
year 2007/08, this is ё3,000 per annum regardless of the age of the van
unless private use is forbidden and no private use occurs. Additionally,
should the company pay for any fuel for private use, there will be an extra
taxable benefit of ё500.

 Thanks Geoff

That confirms my understanding. The payload of the Navara is 1070kg, so I
still have plenty in hand after subtracting the 45kg.

Even though the tax changes next year, it's still cheaper than the tax I was
paying on my Renault Scenic. Tax on ё3K and the fuel still only amounts to
ё770 p.a.

Thanks again

Ade

 Ok I have a ford ranger pickup truck 2.5 litre, regular cab and is 2001 model. I can only insure it as a commercial vehicle and is only used as such if you dont count popping to the local shops :0) Anyway would be really pleased if somebody actually knew what was going on with this 4x4 tax, I hear a different story fron everyone I quiz about it. Some say it is only on the new models, some say is only on super and king cabs then ( and these are the people that upset me, because knowing the unfairness of the government and their helpfulness...ha of small business owners its probably true) that is is across the board! Please put me straight! cheers!
