| Post subject: | Tax allowance for taxi plates |
I was wondering if someone purchased a taxi plate in a restricted area for say £65000 would he able to claim any of it against tax? This may take the form of interest payments on loans, or the unofficial plate value? This seems to be a bit of grey area, some experts say yes, others say only the official value of the plate (£450) can be claimed. I would have thought with all the tax that would have to be paid, they would allow some sort of allowance? |

Is the person selling the plate VAT registered? £65,000 is only £16,000 below the VAT threshold so they may be liable for VAT on the sale price. |

Does it also include the vehicle, as they need to be both together to legally transfer |

Whatever is on the invoice is a business cost and tax deductable, pay by cheque to create a paper trail and get 22% tax relief (though capital items tax relief is over 4 years?) IF you get charged VAT, and the VAT number checks out, consider going VAT registered to reclaim the VAT element The seller can only charge VAT on the items if he PAID VAT on them I think I have another plan if you PM me... |

If you paid £65K youd write it all down over 4 years 40% year one then 3 x 20% the other way is to create your wifes own hire company, she buys it and writes it down over 4 years you hire it off them at £200 a week which is 100% tax deductable weekly creating an extra £15000 a year of your own tax allowances |

That's interesting, surely the tax man would say the plate is only worth £460, the cab £15000, the rest is for the right to trade and not a capital expenditure? |

its the seller with the problem, if he paid £400 for a plate he sells at £15,000 he owes a LOT of tax |
