I can tax and insure the van for less than the insurance on corsa (monthly figures) and have £20 odd quid extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Van uses commercial rates I think. My last berlingo was the same as your corsa but if it was a multispace it would have been 155 If I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Commercials under 3.5 tonnes are all taxed the same since 2001 (except for 2003 -2010 when vehicles meeting Euro4 and then Euro5 standards are half price). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I fell foul of this on the other side when I bought a 2007 T5 that was registered a "van with windows" and it was somehow about £530,000 a year to tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warch Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 All the work vans I ever had seemed to have high road tax according to the figure on the tax disc (ask your dad). I expect this is because a lot of them are expected to be commercial vehicles so the owner isn't really bothered what the VED costs as they'll just claim it back. Probably a bit of a cash cow for the gubberment that most first users aren't fussed about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you could claim back VED, fuel and insurance as running costs as an alternative to claiming a mileage allowance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 You can offset it against tax, but then if you use the van for personal use there are BIK implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I meant, sorry for the confusion. If you are able to claw back costs for things like VED as a business you probably don't notice the cost, but a private owner would.
