Vans are available on finance, so you can still consider buying a new van even if you can’t afford to pay for one outright. This is often the most popular way of buying a new van as it allows businesses to spread the capital outlay over a period time, helping considerably with cashflow. For van finance, you will usually have to pay an initial deposit followed by monthly payments. Make sure you look at the details of your proposed deal to ensure you can afford the regular payments. There are several finance options available, including hire purchase, personal contract purchase (PCP) and business lease. You can explore van finance here .

How do I tax a new van?

If you’re buying a new van through your business, and you’re VAT registered, then it should qualify for a VAT exemption.

You’ll have to pay Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) on a van, though it’ll probably be at the flat rate of light commercial vehicles. Note that multi-purpose vans (MPV) can be classed as cars or vans, so you may fall into a car tax category rather than van tax. You can see if it’s been classed as a car or van in the V5C registration document. Make sure if you are buying a vehicle it's classified correctly; only Car Derived Vans are subject to the same speed limits as cars and all LCVs have restricted speed limits.

How do I compare van insurance?
