Looks a great spec, enjoy the car.

Hope you don't mind me asking, how does it work with a second hand car through the company? I thought you could only enjoy the benefits of low BIK etc if the car was new?

Thanks.

How I understand it The company is paying 100% of the cost of the car lease and will recover 50% of the VAT. I am paying a 2% BIK on a P11D

With corp tax benefit also- We save around £3k a year.

You can claim the VAT as long as the used car is still VAT applicable. Also, pretty sure to claim the VAT the car needs to be 100% business use, plus the car has to be owned, not leased.

I might be wrong, but worth checking.

We’ve had some very sound advice from a respected accountant.

If anyone is looking for advice pm me as I would highly recommend them regards putting a used Taycan through the company and the remaining tax benefits.

Thanks for that, it was the 100% capital allowance I was thinking of which is only allowable on new. On second hand you would use the write down allowance at 18%.

That might be different if leasing / hiring.

I would prefer used to be honest, especially now the hype and overs seem to have died down.
