The question
Can I reduce the amount of motor tax on a pickup if I use it for work purposes even if I'm not self-employed?

Hi Kevin,
If the vehicle is used exclusively for work purposes as part of a business, then potentially yes. As an employee of a business, which is what it sounds like you are, you must submit a declaration to Revenue to confirm that the vehicle is 100 per cent used for work. Even commuting is not allowed though so that's probably not practical.
