NO CHANGE TO VAT RULES: There is no change to the VAT rules on all pickup trucks. VAT can still be reclaimed as previously. BIK BENEFIT-IN-KIND CHANGES: The change only affects the Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax for double cab pickup trucks which are used for some element of private purposes. Zero private use equals no change. From 6th April 2025, double cab pickup trucks with a payload over one tonne will be classified as cars for BIK tax purposes. This means BIK is applied BUT only for those vehicles which are used for some private use. NO IMPACT IF NO PRIVATE USE: If a double cab pickup truck is used soley for business, there are no changes to the BIK rules and you will not pay the tax. To summarise: VAT - No VAT changes period, regardless of usage. No VAT change has been proposed, the only change surrounds BIK tax. BIK - No BIK If you buy or lease prior to 6th April 25 then there is no charge for 4-years regardless of usage. If you buy or lease after 6th April 25 and do not use for private use, there is no charge. If you buy or lease after 6th April 25 and enjoy private use you will pay BIK tax. If you fall into the last category, you might consider a 2nd car that is used for private use (Shopping/Dropping the kids etc) and retain the pick-up for 100% commercial work use only!
