HMRC punitively changing 4 door pickup rules

[devon TWiG]

It appears that if you already have one then no change until 2028....it seems to be about "benefit in kind" if you are supplied one as a company vehicle , not sure on the situation for owner drivers , farmers for example ??

This suggests a "loophole" for modified vehicles with rear seats removed and windows blanked ..

I find it better to use an old range rover.

Best tow wagon around and great off-road. 

Cheap enough tax etc etc etc

Is this purely for employees using double cab pick ups as perks? 

 

 

What about company owners / sole traders who use the pickups as a 2nd vehicle to tow to site and for support vehicle? What's the crack then? 

 

Is this a storm in a teacup for me or is it time to get shut of the pickup and buy something else? If tax o ly goes up 100 quid a year so be it but horrendous amounts they can bugger off

Is this just for brand spanking new ones?

I think double cab pick up drivers and owners are witches .

 

 

These were traditionally burned at the stake or drowned in the village pond.

To me this seems like the best option for such vehicles as there about as much use as a wet hedgehog that's been run over multiple times.

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble, I heartily disagree!

 

Depends what you want from one as to how much use it is. When I got my dble cab l200 (as personal vehicle) it was the only thing that really met my needs.

First thing I did was remove the back seats and build in their place a "dog palace" meaning I could take multiple dogs at a time for longer periods beside me in the cab, safely and in comfort. Any tools and fuel can go separately in the back, I can tow whatever, and go off road (which I do regularly). It even pulls the gang mowers at the paddock.

Had it 8 or 9 yrs now, still fulfills the purpose perfectly and I've never cast a hex on anyone!

A range rover will do all of that and has far more class being the executioner of all witches.

It really couldn't.
