Default Vans vs Cars (was Painting metal (a van))

Adam Aglionby gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying:

Where do crew cabs fit into the picture?


I've only seen them on pick-ups and the open rear body excludes those
from the rules.


Van crew cabs are pretty common from all the major suspects, usually 7
seater with load space behind. See a lot of Network Rails around here,
equipped to work out in the wilds, fridge, microwave, full hand wash
with hot and cold running water.


Yeh, the odd one round here, too.

But - going back to the original question - VAT status of a used vehicle
has nothing to do with the vehicle's spec, and everything to do with the
chain of previous ownership. If it's ever been owned by a non-VAT-reg-
business, then it's no longer VAT-qualifying.

If, otoh, it has been, then...

I think Colin may be confused with the co.car tax rules, which used to
regard crew-cab pickups such as the Mitsubishi L200 or Nissan Navara as
"commercial vehicles", giving the user a nominal tax bill.
