Dual cab pickups ....

JohnsonD, you are taking particular exception to these business vehicles being taxed more. Just to give us an understanding, how much of your £120k salary do you earn using one, how many days business use does it get? Correct me if I am wrong but they are not submersible and useless when you are out swimming?

 

The reason I ask is that most of the guys I see round here - granted more tree surgeons than forest operations - are using tipper vans for preference - I'd be guessing that they don't appreciate the level of your hardship given this thread isn't a 50 pages long rant. More the occasional 1 or 2 venting and that is it really.

Loophole for what mark 🤷‍♂️

Those who took the piss “ a minority imo” will just change to something else,those who need them will be ****************ed over 🤷‍♂️how does that promote growth. I would bet that the tax take they fantasise about getting will be a fraction of what they imagined. All that will happen is people will end up running either more or totally unsuitable vehicles or taking a massive tax hit. 👍👍. They say you get the government you deserve and by god this bunch of clowns are up there with the worst ever. Like I said to Mick its surprising the support for such BS from a what I presumed would be a predominantly self employed membership. 🤷‍♂️

If the wealthy paid their fair share the governments (past, present, and future) might not chase the little man so much. Advocate for that or continue shouting into the void.

Ive not had a salary since I left the armed forces, you just make up these absolute BS numbers day after day on here yet will not allude to what you do other than you commute on a train to the office 🤷‍♂️. 
I earn every ****************ing penny and have posted enough pics on here of my pick up working that plus the 100k plus mileage would lead anyone other than a total prick to realise it’s not a “ vanity van”. 
You see that sawmill SP it weighs just under 3400KG it was quite a  substantial financial investment I worked long and hard to buy it  plus the generator to power it. Getting ****************ed over by left wing tossers with a similar mindset as you is never gonna bring growth to any economy.

Your ignorance of most topics you post on is absolutely staggering 

[Steven P]

So your lack of clarity leads me to believe that you need to use your van for 20 days a year for a business vehicle, the rest of the time a taxi to the airport would be sufficient ?

 

Noting that your need this vehicle for its 3 1/2 ton towing capacity (previous posts, another thread if anyone missed that) - very doubtful you take that much kit with you swimming

That is why I am asking you, the expert on these things for clarity. Still ignorant an why this is hitting you so hard when your salary, 3 or 4 times every elses should cover this easily, yet the guys out there grafting are not whinging.

Absolute BS from an anonymous man who commutes to the office by train once again making up nonsense.
