Advice Please ref to changing our taxation class (1 Viewer)

[champers]

Hi would anyone know please...

I need to change the taxation class for our conversion van to renew the tax disc as it was a Lights goods vehicle before we had it converted to a m/h

On our Car V5 form the taxation class is : Private/Light Goods

Would that be the same wording I use for our van on the m/h V5C(W)form or do I just put Private...
thanks for any info

Hi Champers

To change the class will entail a visit to the local/regional vosa office, with the following:

1. Weigh bridge ticket, dated same day or very close to visit.

2. V5

3. Current insurance certificate and mot if appropriate.

The weigh bridge ticket is required to proove you fall within/ or establish which catagory your unit fits, up to 3500kgs = private/light goods
over 3500kgs = private/heavy goods

They retain your current V5 , give you one of the tear of parts, take additional fees, and you will get new V5 in a week or so.

If you move from PLG to PHG you will get a refund, about £2. still every little helps.:thumb:

Hope this helps

Perhaps I should have asked do I have to change the class or can it remain the same?

DVLA Swansea is over 30 miles away

Thats a good question!!

If you get your rig weighed and it is less than 3500kgs, the answer is NO, it is still within the private/light goods class, if it weighs 3501kgs plus then YES to private/heavy goods class.

However, can I say that the difference between the actual weight and the maximum 3500kgs, is your PAYLOAD allowence. So if you weigh in at 3400kgs you have a payload allowence of 100kgs, for all persons on board plus kit/food/equiptment etc.

In addition to this each axle has a design max weight, see vin plate...these weights also have to be adhered too.

I hope this helps

Hi ginge61
Yes we have done that already at the beginning of the year, but only now the tax has run out and needs renewing and thought the tax class may now have to be changed
