We think this change will harm many businesses, farmers, tradespeople, and individuals relying on double cab pickups for work, making work vehicles costly. We think reclassifying them as cars drastically raises costs by increasing Benefit in Kind tax and lowering their capital allowances. Essential to rural operations, they carry heavy loads and handle rough terrain, yet we think this tax reclassification ignores their commercial use. Reconsider the change and engage affected industries.
