Farm vehicle?

[Jack Russell]

At the moment I run an amarok. It has done the job well and taken a lot of abuse. At some point soon I would like to-replace it, but not keen for another crew cab pickup. I need to get two kids in and sometimes ferry some staff about. I would like a commercial discovery but it only has two seats. What are the implications of running a normal discovery as a farm vehicle in respect to tax, vat etc?

Thanks
Will

If you look around there are commercial registered discovery’s with back seats.

unless your buying new or VAT qualified used there is no tax / vat advantage of a commercial discovery over a regular one

if its 100% businesses use you can claim 100% of the vat on running it

which are no longer “commercial “ if you get an inspection i believe

i did say “if” 100% business use !

it’s the use of a vehicle that determines vat and tax treatment not the actual vehicle - ie a car bought for driving school, taxi, weddings or even a supercar hire experience would fully vat qualify if used exclusively for business
