Not good news for the Quartermaster in the UK

[Tom D]

I had hoped that INEOS would get an exemption for the QM but there's no point now. This is pretty harsh for many tradespeople... there must be thousands of double cab rangers and hiluxes out there.
Expect values to drop of a cliff next year..

The QM was never going to fall into that category as it doesn't have the 1 tonne payload.
This isn't surprising, the HMRC have been trying to get DCs as cars for company car purposes for over a decade.
Interesting error in the Farmer's Weekly article. They reference the Navara, but that hasn't been available in Europe since they closed the factory in 2001. Edit 2021!

do you mean 2021?

I know loads of people with DCPU's its going to change things for sure..

I was in my local Toyota dealership a couple of years ago and the chat came round to what the sales folk were driving. Nearly every male was driving a Hi-lux and all were city folk.

So there are sheep in cities? I never knew.

They are mainly wolves “transitioning”

There's no fields in Chelsea, but plenty of tractors, ( according to the Greens)

You voted them in - politics for a broke economy (like us) has no fair value on those wanting to work hard, and purchase fairly.

Most 70 series in Australia are driven by city folk - mall crawler central is Brisbane and Gold Coast for such evidence. Real farmers cannot afford 70s, so they buy DMAX and TRITON and nowadays GWM!!!

I did not vote them in!!! but yes your right. They can't tax the poor because they don't have anything to tax. They can't tax the rich because they will just leave. That just leaves those of us who work hard and try to better ourselves....

The Marxists were elected by default. Their share of the vote was less than that in 2019. Downside was those who normally vote for the Conservatives, voted elsewhere.

On topic - be interesting to see how many have been sold to date in the UK and whether the taxation has affected it!

And of course their school fees have now gone up.

Disgraceful act (didn't go to private school). But surely these idiots recognise that if an individual is paying from their own pocket for schooling (they are paying twice), this is a benefit to the state.

I absolutely loathe this woman, she lies and stutters constantly with an incessant voice as if she has a broken nose.

LC70 is so yesterday, Quartermaster will be the replacement mall crawler around Brissie and the Goldie if the only 4x4s farmers want or can afford are DMAX, Triton or GWM.

They have been and sent there children to private schools, it's not for you and me to send ours, it's about equality.
I knew of a teacher who wouldn't help a nephew with extra education after school as it would have given him an unfair advantage even though he struggled.
You can't make this equality stuff up!!

A lot of foreigners sit around and scratch heads over Donald Trumps win. ( I am a Libertarian so not part of the 2 party system) But the reality is it was over this kind of stuff. We were headed down the Socialist and Equity and Diversity ie Racism and discrimination path far too long in the US as well.

But they are talking about Political Reality which we cannot escape from. Perhaps one could just skip the thread if it bothers them.

"Alliance research shows that a typical Nissan Navara Tekna, priced at £33,265 and emitting 167g/km of CO2, will see its BIK rise from £3,960 to £12,308.

The BIK on private fuel benefits will also soar from £757 to £10,286, leading to even higher costs for workers."

Holy hell. I don't know if it's still a sore subject between us, but those of us on the other side of the pond had a pretty good idea on how to deal with this kind of tyranny.
