Thinking of buying a new Pick-Up for your business? Be Careful ⚠️
Since April 2025, double cab pick-ups now count as “cars”, slashing your tax relief.
Tax Savings with a Single Cab (£40,000)
*Commercial vehicle, 100% tax relief
- 20% taxpayer: **£8,000** savings.
- 40% taxpayer: **£16,000** savings.
Double Cab Pick-Up:
*Taxed as a car, only 18% relief in year 1.*
- 20% taxpayer: **£1,440** savings.
- 40% taxpayer: **£2,880** savings.
For a 40% tax payer who operates as a sole trader the double cab could mean you would pay an extra £13,120 in tax on a 40K vehicle!
