4x4 with seats for the farm, legalities?

[Agrifool]

Hi , looking for a 4x4 for the farm, but preferably not a pickup. If I was to buy a standard land rover discovery or toyota landcruiser with the 7 seats can I claim back the VAT and get full capital allowance against tax if the vehicle wasn't necessarily classed as a commercial?

Not legally no, unless you run a chauffeuring business or similar

I thought commercial LR's had no rear seats - so I doubt you can legally.

You can buy a commercial disco 4 with 2 seats, then add “occasional “ seats from the likes of atlantech or Scott seats. They cost between £1500 and £3500 depending on spec of seat. You can the. Fully legally claim the vat back.

Remember your only clamming vat back on the depreciation.

Defender 110 Utility and the 2nd row of seats fold down for extra payload.

Why oh why are not more 3,5 tonne tow vehicles made in this configuration.

You can buy a mini bus and take some seats out. Friends had 9 seater Defender as works bus.
