We have a fleet of vehicles including a lot of dual cabs. I understand that dual cabs can be exempt even if under 1 tonne, based on passenger numbers x 68kg etc; as long as private use is limited. Some of our fleet do not meet the limited private use test, so will be liable for FBT. At this point, where the exemption test fails, are these still considered cars, or do they fall into the residual FBT category? I believe they would be cars, but are there any circumstances where they would be considered residual?

It will be a car benefit if the carrying capacity is less than 1 tonne and can't seat nine or more passengers. If if the carrying capacity is at least 1 tonne and/or can carry nine or more passengers it will be a residual benefit.
