In this video I go through a few things related to the purchase of a new car by my business (it will become my company car). As much as I wanted to lease a car I simply couldn't get approval and you'll see how my business and personal finances played a huge part in my decision of whether to buy new or used and whether to get an EV or an ICE vehicle.
I hope some of you find this useful or interesting. If you're in a similar position I VERY STRONGLY recommend that you speak to your accountant before taking the plunge on anything using your company funds and fully understand all the various ramifications for yourself.
By the way, the VAT thing would not have been beneficial for me as the car will be for both business and personal use.
Hopefully I'll be able to lease the next one!

I picked up a new Tesla model 3 on interest free pcp with low deposit for less than a lease deal. Still have some tax advantages for my wife's business. All other choice of EV where more to pay per month than the deal I got. Happy now and the Tesla is cheaper to charge at their superchargers, up to half the price of other chargers. I am definitely not a typical EV owner, I but I like the ease of ownership, I don't mind the charging on long trips, currently on 867mils of a 1000 mils road trip. Energy used so far 4.45mils per kilowatt. Mostly motor way driving at 70 and air con blasting. I have been following your channel for a while now great content.

Would be interested in seeing a cost breakdown for this as I've thought of doing it myself.

@DefinitelyNotAGuru 10 ай бұрын

Basically, If you have profit of under £50k your CT will be 19%. If you buy a new EV, you're saving 19% of it's cost. If you give a directors loan and pay it back in future years you're also going to be saving tax in those years. You will personally be on the hook for company car tax but all other things like tyres, servicing, insurance etc can go through the business. Speak to your accountant who will do you a proper breakdown.

I'm not an owner of an EV car but have used the Company EV cars for the past 2 years... They are not for long journeys especially in winter... But in the current weather in the UK... Hot... They are fantastic even with the aircon on... One day might get a second hand one probably during the back end of winter when their prices tumble.

@@agiugabenson7268 Essentially yes what you describe was common practice. Although if you do quite well you will have to pay some tax! It is not so easy these days. People pay themselves a small salary to avoid income tax and NI then take the rest as dividends as they are taxed at a lower rate, and used to have a reasonable tax free amount. You still have Corporation tax to pay first from the profits. Obviously the rules are now under scrutiny and are changing to some extent. The best way to get money out of a company is by putting though as may expenses as possible and buying tax deductible assets such as phones, laptops and cars.

@kevinlally7653 10 ай бұрын

I'm certainly looking down this route (also in consulting for the insurance industry). The 100% year 1 writing down allowances, with the v low BIK rates, (and the VAT perspective), mean that you'd be nuts not to have this as a core element of your income strategy. One peculiarity though - I see no reason why you wouldn't go for a 2 year old BEV, as the BIK would still be trivial (it's based on new RRP). The initial depreciation on new BEVs is apparently eye-watering, so I'd expect you could get something super fancy and still be able to take full tax advantage. NB- this is definitely core "tax planning", not "tax avoidance". Your approach is clearly to apply tax law as it is intended. The sad thing is that employees cannot take similar advantage, unless their employers offer a BEV salary sacrifice purchase scheme, which most do not. And those that do, seem to use firms like Tusker who appear to be very expensive.

@DefinitelyNotAGuru 9 ай бұрын

With a used EV you can only claim 18% per year so not as useful if you have a large amount of cash and tax liability to play with in a relatively short period of time, otherwise I would have bought used.

Polestar 2 or Ioniq 5 I think, why an I so invested? 😂

They would be great choices for a lot of people. You're so invested because of my boyish good looks, glowing personality and all-round hero status. Either that or you're wondering what the heck this f4t t005er has bought.

🤣🤣 I have the Polestar 2 24 on order and expected arrival end of Nov so was hoping it would be that. Looking forward to seeing whatever it is you’ve decided on.

I've had a Polestar 2 for 3 years now - they are great cars ! The obvious choice if you want something other than the default Tesla route.
