If a hackney plate is bought for X amount can it be tax deductable ?

and if the L.A deregulated could the amount paid for the plate be a tax loss ?

If it's properly receipted anything can be tax deductible.

And if your 'asset' that you paid, say, £40,000 for suddenly isn't worth a carrot, then that loss is equally deductible.

In my opinion.

As it's an asset it is on the capital side of the balance sheet, not revenue. Therefore, I believe that any losses on sale would be dealt with under capital gains tax rules.

As with many of these questions, ultimately the correct answer is 'see a good accountant.'
