From what i took from it I don’t think it is available new, I enquired with merc about this but gave up as the salesman hadn’t a clue!

So is it just purchases of new pickups that are effected by the tax changes or is it the same if you buy used?
My oldman fancies a pickup but he's now thinking about a 2 year old old one instead of new

My customer today selling his 69plate full size Range Rover. He reckons he’s lost half its value since he bought it 2 years ago and his insurance jumped from £700 upto £2000. He’s leasing a Raptor instead

New from April, then 2029 it’s widespread I believe.. I’m pretty sure from that point it really only affects the bik and road tax. If your self employed it won’t make sod all difference anyway

No its all pickups. But there's a loophole until 2029 if you have owned/ordered before 1st April. New pickup sales are through the roof ATM.
You buy one after the 1st you are screwed.
This sums it up and now king cabs etc now included
Basically 1 finger up to the working man but you can still run a 100k leccy Porsche for next nothing . Twats

Ved is the same it's only bik and AIA rules that change so anyone purchasing as a private vehicle is unaffected and sole traders lose out on how to claim on tax return.
I think it's any purchases of double cab pickups or vans after April regardless if new or not would attract the car bik and not be fully claimable under aia but only at a 6 percent right off although vat can be reclaimed.
If your buying one as a company car then anything before the April date gets the bik and AIA break till 2029.
I'm on the fence with what to do I don't have mine as a company vehicle but would be nice to get a large amount taken off as AIA but on the other hand if I sold the ranger buying a new 3l wouldn't cost me much so could roll the dice and wait to see if any new values dip (which I doubt)

What is the luxury car tax supplement? Expensive car VED explained
Electric cars will be subject to luxury car tax from 2025, and the rates for all vehicles are on the up. Here's everything you need to know
" From 1 April 2025, registered keepers of electric, zero or low emission cars, vans and motorcycles will need to pay vehicle tax in the same way as registered keepers of petrol and diesel vehicles. This change will apply to both new and existing vehicles. "

TBH it makes sense as those not using the road as much get a bad deal. It could be a bit like electricity tariff, a standing charge of around 50% of what we currently pay then some much for every K when it comes to MOT time

would suit me fine - don't do a lot of miles, but can imagine it'd 'bankrupt' a lot of ppl
Would like to see VED binned, altogether, but'll never happen - too much of an earner on the backs of ppl who do little mileage and/or maybe own a few vehicles
only 12% (theoretically) goes towards the roads anyway - more like 0.12% 'round here -- roads are in a hell of a state, including the main trunk roads - gert potholes in all of them and the lesser roads are more like cart tracks in places

Would be very expensive to sack off ved. Pay per mile should only apply to electric vehicles but would make them too expensive, for anyone not able to charge at their house. Public fast chargers are far more expensive than fuel, then a mileage fee on top would be ridiculous.
Problem is the lack of fuel duty has to be filled somewhere.

So if you order a double cab and it takes months to come in as long as it's ordered before April it qualifies?
