That sounds great Dave, you'll have sorted the work vehicle, for the milling etc,  getting you all of the much needed tax breaks, and then you can get a more fuel efficient and economic car/SUV for all of the long distance communting. Sounds like a win win for you, (your pocket?), and the environment. With the added bonus for you that you can feel that you've got one over on the government and the mindless greenies by avoiding tax and getting a truck with a massive engine.  Congratulations!

Avoiding tax, I wish 😂😂😂some on here are like turkeys clamouring for Xmas regards this pick up stuff or just talking shite. 
I’ve a decent pick up why would I buy a new suv 🤷‍♂️you seen the bloody road tax on them 😳😳. Mrs has a 530D which does 50mpg if we need to go long distance. I’m sorted but thanks for your concern.

I think this comes down to me basically not believing that the double cab in this instance is going to be sat in the yard for 300 days of the year and never get taken out the yard unless there is work to do. Double cab and I'd be very much inclined to believe that it is also used as a general run around, taking the family out and so on, as such having the business provide for such is a perk. 

 

In the case of much of the equipment we use it would be tricky to work out how it could b used for anything other than business use. Hardly likely to pop down to the shops with chainsaw as a fashion accessory (though that might be just me). Day trip to the beach? Take the sawmill out, will make a great base for the BBQ.

Who give a shit what you think or believe, Christ man get a ****************ing life 

Are you seriously giving any thought to what my pick up is doing on a daily basis 🤷‍♂️. I find myself never off the road SP tying to keep things going, sorting kit, doing maintenance, out buying and delivering etc, I genuinely don’t think you have a clue at the logistics and hours involved in being self employed or trying to set up and run a  business from scratch 🤷‍♂️maybe I’m wrong and you are a total “ Alan Sugar” . You really really need to stop and take a look at what you are posting on here or what your priorities are in life.

Maybe one day when you actually have a job position that's not on a salary you'll actually understand.

 

You seem to equate every sod driving one as some massive company screwing over HMRC, reality is the UK is primarily small businesses.

 

Just don't equate your boss turning up in his chauffeur driven Merc with a pickup truck. Its people in those trucks that keep this country running, not Rupert off on his 3rd ski trip of the season.

What’s strange is why SP  is so obsessed with making a point on a subject that  doesn’t effect him, indeed the same obsession he has regarding people’s incomes. The same person who will not divulge any information on his current employment status other than he commutes to the office by train.

He wouldn't meet anyone tho, they're locked away.

 

I'm not sure why, maybe scared of mixing with the riff raff when you're earning 70k+.

 

Plus with all those buttons and switches he'd never have enough time for replying on here in-between giving bob crow a handy.

He did mention the “ office” at one point, 🤷‍♂️who knows but he’s a lot to say on the activities and tax issues of the self employed or small business owners.
