Good evening,

I have a fairly simple situation but just cannot fathom this convoluted system we seem to have with company cars (I joke, I’m sure it does make sense really).

I am the sole director of a limited company, the company has £35,000 to spend to buy a car. The car will be used by me (director / employee of said company) and will be used 100% for business use.

What is the best (most tax efficient) way of doing this?

I test drove a pick up truck - it was horrible.

Fully electric is not ideal due to restrictions preventing charging.

Hybrid?

Does buying a car second hand make things even more awkward?

Appreciate any suggestions smile

What truck? Like cars they are not all equal.
2017 2.3 Nissan Navara - not as refined as I thought it would be.

I am tempted to try a 6 cylinder Ranger, or a V6 Amarok but am not convinced.
