They are currently classed as commercial if the payload is over a tonne.

 

A lot are used as ponce-mobiles though.

 

You can tell my Transit is a genuine commercial vehicle from the smell of the cab.

Only a tonne? I've a tonne in the foot wells of my Kangaroo. A mix of saw dust, backy and gravel

 

 

So let me get this right. 
 

Double cab to be no longer commercial so not allowed full price off tax bill? 
 

Single and extended cab stays as commercial? 
 

What is one was to vow to never clean and hoover it?

Aren't they technically agricultural?

 

How many people use that loophole though?

I have a feeling your average Chelsea tractor driver isn't swapping their posh 4x4 for a unimog just to save a few quid on road tax and red diesel

still have the beast, doesnt get used much these days as it needs a refurb,  but a yanmar compact tractor and an IH454 tractor keep things rolling along nicely

on the subject of a mog being agricultural......refer to the construction and use act, definitons of an agricultural machine/tractor......front or rear three point hitch, mog has both, front or rear pto, mog has both, initial registration as an agricultural machine from new, yes, , the usual crap comes into the rules for the use of rebated fuel.....there is a good downloadable set of instructions from HMRC, takes any confusion out the use

Don’t panic, the governments done another U turn. It’s going to stay as a commercial vehicle🙄
