VAT & ROAD TAX STILL UNCHANGED

What's changed:

  • As of April 2025, double and extended cab pick-ups are now treated as company cars for:

    • Benefit-in-Kind (BIK): Taxed based on CO₂ emissions (3%–37% range)

    • Capital Allowances (CA): No longer “plant & machinery”; allowances now CO₂-based (6%, 18%, or 100% for EVs)

What hasn’t changed:

  • Road Tax (VED) remains at £345/year

  •  VAT still fully reclaimable if:

    • Vehicle has over 1-tonne payload

    • Business is VAT-registered and makes fully taxable supplies

Transitional relief applies if:

  • The vehicle was ordered, leased, or purchased before 6 April 2025

  • These vehicles keep the older, more favorable BIK/CA treatment until 5 April 2029, disposal, or lease expiry

Important note:

  •  Single cab pick-ups are not affected and still count as commercial vehicles for all tax purposes

Why the change?

  • Based on a Court of Appeal ruling that dual-purpose pick-ups aren't primarily for goods transport, HMRC reclassified them
