Is it legal to order a standard SUV, (e.g. VW Touareg); have the dealer remove the rear seats, safety belts, etc. in order to make the vehicle commercial as per revenue rules and then purchase for company as a commercial vehicle?
Assuming that the above is legal - After the vehicle has been written off by the company (say after 5 years) then the company sells/disposes of the vehicle. The person/entity buying the vehicle then refits the rear seats and safety belts making the vehicle non-commercial.
Can anyone advise of a link to the revenue rules on this one? Is it possible for a vehicle to be classed as commercial when first registered and then to be changed to a normal passenger vehicle further down the line?
