Looking at buying a Ford Ranger...
Hi,
I'm looking at buying a Ford Ranger 2.2 TDCi for use with my work. As I will be purchasing the vehicle will it need to be taxed and insured privately even though I would be using it to assist myself with work? If I can buy the vehicle personally, will a company then be penalised with benefit in kind even though I have bought it?

What paperwork needed to tax my van?
I am buying a van for the first time and the van has no current tax disc, but does have a valid CVRT. I would like to tax the van privately. Can this all be done online and do I still have to provide proof that I will be using it commercially some of the time?

Can I tax this Defender as a commercial?
Hi,
I'm just wondering about taxing a vehicle as commercial. I read your article on it but what if the vehicle (1998 Defender 110) only has three seats, no back seats and is classified as a commercial van? Can I still tax it without a VAT number etc, or will I have to pay full private vehicle tax?
