I have ford transit for work and I don't pay tax on the vehicle.
I have to fill out milage logs and hand them in at the beginning of every month.
If I was to use my van for personal use the tax would be £840.00 a year
Having a van I have a fuel card supplied by my employer.
The staff who have company cars have to put there own fuel in and claim back business miles

the reason things like the Navarra became popular was because they could carry over 1 ton meaning they were treated like vans and therefore cheaper than a car from a tax POV

I'd be in London 5 days out of 7 so it'd be used for commuting daily and weekend runs home. Dont need anything bigger than a motorbike really.. I'd even settle for a superscooter thing as long as it did over 100mph and had a drinks holder.

Well theyve penned up a contract and confirmed the salary.. now waiting on the f****ng army to give me something for a change.. like a wave goodbye..

Company want me from the 16th which is unrealistic, but i reckon it could be done for the end of the month.

We shall see. if it doesnt come off, a. the army are going to see just how skillfully unhelpful a pissed off hobbit can be, with one small computer mistake that undoes all my work since ive been at my current unit.. and b. I have a great target indicator of my 'worth' as far as base skillset goes

Or JB Weld for tanks. Army tanks - not petrol tanks. Diesel tanks then.

Congratulations Tim.
