So i read that its 20% of the price per year so if you buy a new work horse for say £10,000 does that mean first year its

£2000 then year 2 its £1600 year 3 £1280 year 4 £1024 year 5 £819.2
can someone who has done this pls let me know if im not far off the mark?
also if you approximate personal use to be 10%-90% does this mean you start at £9,000?

for this to take effect for this tax year ending where tax is due 31st of jan im guessing purchases must be completted before april 5th?

TA!

You will only be able to claim the whole purchase price in one lump under AIA if you pay for the vehicle in full, and not on finance.
Obviously.

I don't think that is correct? I have just purchased a new Defender on a four year finance plan and my accountant said I could claim the whole price in one year or split 25% over four years. Didn't matter how i paid for it.

Hope he was correct?

Your accountant should know.
Im only a window cleaner.
Although interesting that you can claim for the full purchase price even though you will still be paying finance until 2018?

Your accountant is spot on (obviously)

The thing is that you typed that as an absolute fact when it is not.
