I am looking to potentially PCP a Tesla Model 3
It's essentially a Deposit + Monthly Payments + Balloon payment.
I want the business to purchase the car and make the monthly payments, I will sacrifice my salary to pay for the car and in turn 0% BIK.
Am I right in assuming that the deposit, monthly payment and the balloon payment all will be VAT reclaimable in the normal way?

VAT treatment of PCP contracts is changing (or has changed I can't remember). Something to do with the fact that because the overwhelming majority of people never pay the final payment (when I worked at VWFS it was something like 90%), HMRC have reclassified PCP contracts as services for supply, instead of a purchase transaction. Which in turn changes how VAT is applied to the payments.
Caveat : I am not an accountant, get advice from your accountant.
Aside from all that, PCP is a consumer product you may have trouble actually taking out a PCP in the name of the company and infact a business lease may work out cheaper.
Caveat again: I am not an accountant, get advice from your accountant.

PCP monthly payments can not be paid out of a buisiness account.It's essentially a Deposit + Monthly Payments + Balloon payment.

Also I don’t think VAT will be reclaimable on a car that is purchased but 50% of the VAT can be reclaimed!
An accountant will be far more informed though.

In case your not aware BIC on a Tesla for next year is 0.
Then 1% 2021
Contract hire it (50% VAT reclaimable) and have it as a company car?
Perfect solution.
Of course I am aware, hence doing it Then 1% 2021
Contract hire it (50% VAT reclaimable) and have it as a company car?
Perfect solution.
No need to pay for fuel, charge it at work etc. I am pretty sure Tesla sales will explode in the next couple of years when company car owners cotton onto this.

Are you saying that the Benefit In Kind rate of a tesla is zero? Ie no tax to pay at all?
Yes - This situation will be resolved from April 6th 2020 when the new lower rates become effective (all BEVs will pay no company car tax in 2020-21, just 1% in 2021-22 and 2% in 2022-23)
Strike the iron while it's hot imo.
I've purchased an EV through the business via PCP. My accountant was fine with it, as we're BMW finance.
The vat treatment greatly depends on the use of the car. If it's a taxi or some other business where the car is key then the vat is reclaimable. If, like me, you use the car to get to/from client sites and some personal then you can't claim vat.
The guidelines are readily available on the gov website so please check for specifics.
