WDA on cars

Jan 27, 2004 2 Replies

Is it 20% or 25%? What is the maximum per year?



Also, I have 70% biz use, 30% private. Do I therefore calculate my WDA (e.g.



1,000 on a 4,000 car) and then use 700 of that to claim tax relief?

Regards,

It's 25% with a maximum of 3000. The private use restriction is applied after the 25% WDA - so you are correct that the claim in your example is

700. Such a restriction only applies to sole traders or partnerships. Employees/directors must now use the IR's mileage rates, if not a company car.

25%. The maximum is £3k, so if the car's original value (or WDV) is more than £12k you'll actually be claiming less than 25% thereof in the first (or a subsequent) year.

Yes.
