You need to ask your accountant - who hopefully can manage to interpret your question - "dust up"? I assume you have been hijacked by autocorrect.

Sorry - not getting this bit at all.

'Delicious'? are you planning to eat it?

hatersgonahate · 17/04/2023 16:13

Transporters are no longer being manufactured!!
Ford will make them for 2 years or so whilst VW do development

I know but my accountant has no kids so I wanted to ask parents

Yes, you can put the whole lease of an electric vehicle as a business expense and the BIK is only 2%.

Can I expense the electric to charge it?

Ford custom transit has 3 seats. I don't see why not.. electric or diesel it's all fuel. Obviously you could only put a portion through

The newer Transporters have been shite. Mercedes are better made and more reliable. Don’t touch the electric vans (yet).
What spec would the commercial Disco be?

Not officially but if you have premises and charge it there no-one will know.

There’s a hire company near me that has some of these…. But if you’re going all electric then, at the moment, even if it’s not a commercial vehicle the BIK is very low. I suspect you’ll still only be able to reclaim half the VAT if you lease a regular passenger version though. The last I saw HMRC didn’t see free electricity as a BIK, but I guess that might have changed
