Business Car Manager Road Test Rating

Due to the company car tax savings over a conventional 4×4, double cabs remain a useful way of paying less personal company car tax. Being a commercial vehicle, if bought and run by a business, they are also exempt from VAT. So it has plenty of appeal for business users. There’s lots of kit – DVD satnav, hands-free phone operation and leather upholstery – a willing engine, a bold image and low taxation levels.
