Why Panel Vans are the Smarter Choice for Business Owners in 2025 and Beyond
Big changes are coming to the vehicle tax landscape in April 2025, and if you’re a business owner, it’s time to take note. As part of the UK’s latest budget announcement, double-cab pick-up trucks will be reclassified as cars for tax purposes – meaning they’ll no longer qualify for the tax breaks typically associated with commercial vehicles.
At Van Haven, we believe in giving our customers the best of everything. This change only reinforces why a Van Haven Transporter is the best choice for businesses.
Why Choose a Van Haven Transporter?
Stay Tax-Smart
Our Transporters all start life as panel vans, and are classed this way no matter what conversion style you choose. Panel vans continue to qualify as commercial vehicles, meaning you’ll still benefit from the financial incentives designed to keep your operating costs low.
Space for Success
From transporting goods to carrying equipment, Transporters offer superior cargo space and layout flexibility – customised to meet your exact business needs.
Built for Business
Commercial vehicles are designed to handle the day-to-day demands of business life, and our vans are no exception. They’re dependable, a style statement and built to last.
Explore our selection of Transporters and keep your fleet efficient, compliant and looking better than ever.

Stop overpaying for tax in 2024/25!
At Van Haven we can help you save on your taxes when buying a new van in 2024. If you’ve had a great year and need to invest in your business, we can guide you to take full advantage of tax benefits and build you a bespoke van that suits all your needs.
Save 25p for Every £1.00 Spent!
Corporation tax remains at 25, making now the perfect time to invest in your business. With production of the T6.1 having now come to an end, this is your last chance to purchase a Van Haven T6.1 Transporter.
Full Expensing
Full expensing is a capital allowance scheme that gives limited companies the opportunity to deduct 100% of the cost of new vans based on their profits during the tax year purchased, instead of spreading it across multiple years. This applies to our full range of VW T6.1 base vans that we have in stock.
Own Your Vehicle OUTRIGHT
Owning your vehicle outright or spreading the cost between 24-60 months, allows you to be in full control of your asset that appears on your balance sheet. Offset 100% VAT upfront, 100% tax deductible in year 1 and increase EBITDA. You can do all this without the limitations of lease or renting.
EBITDA, Corp Tax, Annual Investment Allowance and Write Down Allowance
EBITDA, Corp tax, Annual investment allowance and write down allowance are all very powerful factors in vehicle procurement decisions. We are not accountants or financial advisors so we advise speaking with your accountant or tax advisor to get advice on your own personal tax situation.
T6.1 Values are rising
As the T6.1 is an end of the line product, residual values are only going upwards. Now is the ideal time to purchase your own bespoke VW Transporter from Van Haven.
We are always happy to help and talk you through all the options available. Contact us today and a member of our team will be in touch.
