    If you want to tax it commercial you'd essentially be converting it to a crewcab i.e. 50% of the loadbay (garage) dedicated to the 'carriage of goods' windows in this portion blanked out. You'll run foul of customs though if using it privately on commercial tax. Otherwise you'll have to pay private tax or convert to a camper and pay the vrt.
