Until recently the Taxman treated double-cab pick ups differently for different taxes. For benefits in kind, they were treated as vans (which is good news) but for capital allowance purposes they were cars (bad news).
Now, sense seems to have prevailed and these vehicles are treated as vans for capital allowances. This is good news as it means tax relief is available alot quicker. This new treatment has been backdated to April 2008.
To qualify for this advantageous tax treatment, the double-cab pick up should have a payload of at least one tonne (1,000 kg).

Quite right! Anything above 1 tonne will be considered as a goods carrying vehicle.
