Shaz looks at what you should consider when you are looking to fund your next car and shares informative content that may change your next car choice
There are a huge number of factors to consider when choosing a car and your choice may be influenced by your company structure when you look at the tax implications
This is a great listen if you want an overview of the most effective ways to purchase a car and know how to offset the cost of a depreciating asset.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The type of company structure you have will influence the best way to fund a vehicle
Cars are a depreciating asset so contract hire can be the right solution
The more miles you drive the more the value of the car depreciates and the more you will have to pay
With leasing, you pay an upfront fee and an agreed monthly fee
The larger the upfront payment the less the monthly fee
You agree on an amount of expected mileage
If its 100% business use you can claim back the VAT
If the vehicle is used for both business and personal use you ca. claim the business percentage of VAT back
If you have a car with contract hire through a limited company and you have personal use you have to pay benefit in kind tax
Do not buy assets that depreciate, lease, or hire them
Currently, the tax rate when you purchase an electric car is very low
BEST MOMENTS
‘I always get cars on contract hire and invest the money elsewhere’
‘There are some really good deals out there’
‘Think about going electric the advantages are good from a tax point of view’
