From what I understand, there're various rules regarding commercial vehicles 
vs. company provided vehicles for private use, such as them having to be made 
available to other employees most of the time, etc...

2511.2KERNEL::IMBIERSKITGood frames, Bad frames...Fri Apr 19 1996 14:007
    My brother in law used to work for southern electric and his company
    vehicle was a medium sized truck with a Simon Snorkel cradle on the
    back! He had this all the time (it really annoyed his neighbours when
    he parked it out front). I'll have to ask him if he was charged company
    car tax on it!

    So are we saying that if you have a company van you will be taxed on
    500 pounds a year regardless of business mileage ?

2511.5 Yup. CHEFS::POWELLMOn 101457.2636@compuserve.comFri Apr 19 1996 16:585
    
    	It certainly seems that way Royston and the point I was offering
    was that it seems that the "van" ain't necessarily what you might
    think.

2511.6Signwritten Diesel vans used to get around it...CHEFS::HANCOCK_MUse what you (used to) sellTue Apr 23 1996 17:568
    
    Many years ago,I worked as a service engineer for Rank Xerox.We got 
    Astra Estates and paid tax on them,plus a fuel card also. There was
    also the choice of a signwritten Astra Diesel van which avoided the
    tax implications . Not many takers curiously enough...
