You have to be manufacturing something in the back of the van ie seamless gutters and the machine in the back has to take up most of the back of the van.

If this is the van used for rally servicing, maybe a tyre machine permanently fitted in the back would be sufficient.

Nope, mobile tyre fitters can't get vans classified as mobile workshops.

hi all as with the above i too have a van and being sick of road tax going up and up evey year i am thinkin of registering it as a moblie worshop , i've been told its very cheap road tax but i cannot find anything on the motor tax website about the requirements , i have been told you need a bench with a vice and a generator , is there an initial charge of changing it like a vrt ?

A camper van conversion also is an option and is very cheap insurance and tax..

Motor tax is 333 a year, hardly in the ridiculous costs bracket.

when i started driving vans it was only £160 every year they put it up and up it costs over 400 euro a year between road tax and doe so if you had the option of saving a few hundred euro would'nt it be better off in your pocket than the goverments

Mobile machine and van commercial tax are both €333 per year so there is no saving to be made in your case, assuming your van is not above 3000kg unladen weight.

compared to the average family car or even a jeep.. €400 is pretty good.. ive 2 vans and a jeep.. jeep costs as much to tax as the 2 vans.. as for camper conversion i meant if the van is big enough do half van as camper n half workshop n get the best of both worlds.. tax is only 88 euro n no doe...
