Can I tax a small van privately?

Hi,

Can I insure a small van (Ford Fiesta) commercially and tax it privately?

Thanks.

Hi Trevor,

No, not really. If you’re insuring your car (or van) one way and driving it another, then technically you’re not being honest with your insurers and if you do need to make a claim, and they investigate the circumstances, you could be caught rotten and find yourself unable to get a payout. Just be honest, it’s always the best policy.
