HMRC punitively changing 4 door pickup rules

After she got her breath back Steve, obviously….

Spoke to someone who has picked the brains at Isuzu, even if you have a taco fitted and it is a towtug, you are still going to get humped!  Not taking private mileage or going 2/3 seater 'van' or possibly 'pool car' are the options at the moment!

How will they class the extra type cab/supercab with occasional seats in the back?

[Will C]

I wonder if next week you will be able to buy a double cab with no seats in the rear like a commercial discovery 🤔

What about a  double cab transit tipper or the like? How are they defining pickup?

With free rear seats (private road use only).

I get the impression that if you use it for private mileage, you are humped. Don't forget that they use list price to determine the benefit in kind (BIK), not the screen price. It doesn't matter what you paid or how old, their calculations are on the manufacturers list price.....

 

The ruling used to be, two seats with one 'occasional' seat.....

What’s that all mean in practice then? How much would tax be?

Like they are now going to be classed as cars with commensurate levels of emissions based car tax!

 

Cant see what they think they are gaining out of this, they will become net losers with firms declaring all non commercial vehicles as pool cars. Its just an excuse to employ an extra platoon of chair polishing parasites to gnaw away at the cabbage of life,this country is drowning in bullshit.

Completely. Probably the old pickup size is inversely proportional to pecker size.

Maybe, but I always assumed the pickup size was directly proportional to the inability to park considerately during the school run.
