It appears changes to the Benefit-In Kind taxation rules regarding Double Cab pickups haven't decimated the truck market as was predicted.

Since April they no longer have the protection of LCVs status, instead now taxed the same as company cars. "At this current time, we've not seen a major difference in sales following the April benefit-in-kind tax changes," an Isuzu spokesperson said.

"Although we cannot speak for the entire UK pickup market, a major part of our customer base is fleets, where the vehicles are only used as work vehicles, with no personal use, so the tax doesn't apply."
