Dear Mr Baker
Thank you for your recent enquiry under the Freedom of Information Act.
Before responding, I'd like to clarify your question a little to ensure that we're the right organisation to answer your question..
When you talk about changing category, are you referring to a situation for example, where a vehicle intended for use say as a car is modified for use as a van, or perhaps classed as a disabled vehicle, but then has the taxation class changed for use by a non-disabled person? Alternatively, is your question more about Type Approval, and the processes that the manufacturer has to go through in order to get modifications to the design of a vehicle certified for use on UK roads?
I look forward to hearing from you, either by email or over the phone if that would be easier.
Best wishes

Dear Paul Stephens,
ok this is to clarify what i mean
the category of plg(private light goods)
just to go to private use as i do not wish to use my car or van to
drive or transport but just to travel as a man and not as a legal
person by the law societies definition!so i wouldn't be a driver or
acting in commerce by the law societies definition driver(DRIVER.
One employed in conducting a coach, carriage, wagon, or other
vehicle, with horses, mules, or other animals.)
(commerce)to buy and sell!
hope this clarifies things for you can you please supply the
documentation requested
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Baker
I'm sorry for the delay in responding to your last Email.
This now appears to be a question that the DVLA would be better placed to answer, so I have forwarded your request onto them and am waiting for a confirmation Email.
Once the request has been transferred, DVLA will be in touch with you direct, but if I hear anything in the meantime I will let you know.
Best wishes

Mr Baker
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request addressed to
the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) about the Private/Light Goods
taxation class. It has been passed to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing
Agency (DVLA) for reply and is being dealt with as part of our day to
day business.
Vehicle registration and licensing is governed by the Vehicle Excise
and Registration Act 1994 (as amended).
Classification for taxation purposes depends upon the construction of a
vehicle and the use to which it is put on the public road.
It is not possible to license a vehicle in the "private use" taxation
class as no such taxation class exists.

Dear Beverly Williams,
many thanks for your reply beverly i hope you dont mind me copying
this freedom of information for future use as i take it if there is
no such taxation class then i dont need the license to use it in
that class.
this is turning out to be quite a day as ive also been told that im
part of a society i have never applied for and am currently looking
for ending the membership and if i cant then that is forced slavery
and a criminal offence as all societies must be volentry if they
are not then that construes as slavery have a great day and hope
its going as great as mine.
many thanks
Yours sincerely,

Dear FOI FOI,
well id like to point out it wasnt actually a question it was a
thanking reply for beverly's honesty i have to say that private
light goods is not private use because it still draws people into a
commercial activity unknowingly which i am not doing and the
failure on behalf of dvla and the legislators i feel are knowingly
deceiving people out of their money!especially considering the 1930
road fund license was wound up and never been renewed!and has ever
since been parliaments obligation to pay for the maintenence of the
roads and not the people.also due to the illegalities of the
afganistan and iraq wars by paying any tax to the government for
funding wars then takes you into the realm of conduct ancillary to
genocide,conduct ancillary against humanity,conduct ancillary to
war crimes which are 3 crimes under section 52 of the international
criminal court act 2001,and complicity to crimes against peace
which is a crime under the nerumberg principles.
Article 24 Chapter VI of the Manual of Military Law applies to
every British citizen and taxpayer as well as to
servicemen and women. This means that if a government embarks on an
illegal war, anyone who cooperates
with a government that wages a war of aggression is complicit in a
crime against peace and is
criminally liable as an accessory to war crimes.
“Whosoever shall aid, abet, counsel or procure the commission of
any indictable offense, whether the
same be an offense at common law or by virtue of any Act passed or
to be passed, shall be liable to be
tried, indicted, and punished as a principal offender.” Section 8
of the Accessories and Abettors Act
1861
i mean look we can both throw acts and statutes at each other all
day long cant we and these were just the worst ones for a defense
and compared to your arguement it kind of makes your look petty (no
insult intended)
but im looking at this from a moral and lawful perspective rather
then a legislatory technicality and after all statutes can only be
given force by the consent of the governed. i dont consent!
Yours sincerely,
mark-william:baker
