Hello all, My mother would like to get a run around commercial jeep as a second vehicle to save her car. She has got a second insurance quote which is ok but can anyone help with what paperwork that would be required to get commercial tax on it. Thanks for any help. Tom.
 
Additional proof that the vehicle is being appropriately taxed may be required, such as:
  • Current commercial insurance certificate for the vehicle
  • Evidence of registration for VAT
  • Tax Clearance Certificate
  • Notice of Tax Registration Form
If you are an employee and you use your vehicle solely for the carriage of goods in the course of your employment, you will require a letter from your employer to that effect. The letter should also provide information about your employer, such as, the nature of the business and its Tax Registration Number.

If the vehicle is one year old or over (for example, imported) a certificate of roadworthiness/pass statement (from an authorised tester) is required. If the vehicle is imported, a weight docket (from an authorised weighbridge) is required.

Basically she can't tax it commercially if there is any aspect of social use.
 
Why does she need a commercial? If it's for carrying dogs/plants etc. Why not get an estate car?

Another thing to factor in ... a new motor policy be it commercial or private will mean she'll be starting afresh without the benefit of a no claims discount.

Unless your mother is doing a lot of driving, a second vehicle isn't worth it ... tax, insurance, servicing, DOE/NCT, tyres etc. all add up.
