2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Keswick Green

Puma 90 HT - Commercial BIK?

Is the Puma 90 HT classed as a commercial by HMRC?

Can find threads about the 110 being used but wasn't sure if the 2.2 & 2.4 Puma 90s were also classified that way by HMRC and therefore BIK rated as such?

Would appreciate hearing from people who run them as such via a Ltd Co, if it is, as I assume, possible to do so.

Should be N1 on the V5 and 4x4 light commercial and (I am not an accountant) but I think they are classed as a van for BIK, the Double Cabs are Dual Purpose Vehicles.

In simple terms, the previous model Defenders were classed as LCV’s, current models are classed as cars Ride like you stole it!!
If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do…

Thank you - that is helpful.

I will ask my accountant.

I was certain I'd read threads where people on here were using the Puma 90 HT as commercial vehicles for tax purposes but cannot find the threads.

When I purchased my 90 H/T i was told by the accountant that it was the only 90 variant that I could class as commercial, think the 110 DCabs also qualify but not station wagons

Wouldn't HMRCs database of suitable cars trump a V5C?

From the HMRC guidance published in 2014

https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/e...l/eim23155

"Land Rover Defender Station Wagons
HMRC has always considered these vehicles to be cars for tax purposes for the reasons given above, i.e. that

they are mechanically propelled road vehicles, and
none of the exceptions in s115(1) (EIM23100) apply to prevent them being cars.
