Good Morning
How is everyone classifying tyre sale/repair business? COM or IND?
thanks Deb

[Peter ODonnell]

My guess is Commercial.

Reason – Not listed in Appendix E on page 39 of the manual.

I agree with you Peter, it’s not really manufacturing and would be too tiresome (excuse the pun) to work out which is the greater use, the sales side or the workshop side.

Definition 1 of appendix E is headed “Manufacturing including…” with part a. then stating “General purpose factory… used for manufacturing, assembly or repairs”. It gives an example of “motor vehicle repair facility or workshop”. A little ambiguous for me as the primary heading of 1. is manufacturing but it gives an example of mv repair facility or workshop. Wouldn’t a tyre repair sales/workshop like Bob Jane then meet the example provided so therefore a classification of INDNV? OR is it COMNV because it doesn’t meet “manufacturing” primary heading & not a “general purpose factory”???

Further to this post… the ESF FAQ’s states:

Q – If the use of a parcel of land is a workshop, motor vehicle repair facility or garage, i.e. mechanic, panel beater, are these activities considered to be a general purpose factory, or are they commercial as they are not manufacturing?

A – If the dominant use of the land is a workshop, motor vehicle repair facility or garage, i.e. mechanic, panel beater, then the land should be classified as industrial land in accordance with Appendix E – Definition of Industrial Land.

I consider a tyre repair facility to meet this definition so will make the classification INDNV.
