F88K EM ALL WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

What other car comes with.....

£5000 grant from HMG
5% BENEFIT IN KIND FOR A COMPANY PURCHASE
EXEMPTION FROM LONDON CONGESTION CHARGE
100% FIRST YEAR ALLOWANCE FOR COMPANY PURCHASE UNTIL APRIL 2018*
NO SHOWROOM OR LUXURY VEHICLE TAX


*When Model S is purchased as a company car owners are entitled to a 100% first year write-down allowance (FYA) for expenditure incurred.

£59,000 less £5000 grants, then less £9000 reclaimed VAT, less £12,000 tax relief in year 1...

Sounds better doesnt it....£33,000? how much is a LTi product or a decent merc?

But...youd be using the car at least three times more than the average owner meaning it's battery's life span would only be 1/3rd the life span time of the average owners, and how many £1000's would they cost to replace?

storage batteries THRIVE on useage, so long as they are discharged and recharged properly plus Tesla will be setting up batery swap stations (they already have them in the US) so you may not always have the same batter pack

A battery is about £7000 (inc vat again) so equates to the fuel savings, though heavy footed drivers of a diesel would save more

Does that mean you have to Charge VAT on every fare?

90% of mine is account work/invoiced

You can't charge VAT on the fares within the district because you can't charge more than the fare on the meter. The VAT is INCLUDED in the fare for a VAT registered driver and must be accounted for in the usual way.

Grandad,

Does that mean the operator loses out by a small percentage, You'll get your VAT back on things you buy but that wont offset the VAT you lose off of the value of Metered price, Say the Meter was £12.00 you'd give £2.00 towards VAT and you only get £10.00 of it, yet you'll not can claim anything like that amount back on your purchases..

When I ran a minibus the Price of the fair was VAT zero rated if i recall correctly, but I could still claim VAT back on all purchases and fuel...but the chore of doing all those VAT returns was a blessed nuisance.
