Hi David,

The UK and Ireland have different rules, but we advise you check all of this with your accountant before committing to a purchase.

Revenue doesn’t quote a specific payload figure, but VAT and BIK rules hinge on whether a vehicle is classed as a ‘goods vehicle’. Some argue that with a payload of under a tonne, the Raptor does not qualify, but we've yet to find that specifically defined anywhere by Revenue. And the Raptor undoubtedly is classed as a commercial when it comes to motor tax.
