Large Goods Vehicles: Taxation
(asked on 2nd April 2025) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will postpone changes to the taxation of double-cab pick-up trucks for 12 months.
This question was answered on 8th April 2025
Following a judgement by the Court of Appeal, Double Cab Pick Ups must be treated as cars, rather than goods vehicles, for certain tax purposes, based on their primary suitability.
The government has no plans to legislate to postpone the change and treat DCPUs as goods vehicles, as this would depart from the broader principles underpinning the Court of Appeal’s judgement, and be a significant tax break worth hundreds of millions per year.
