Company car - transfer to director

saba · Postby **saba** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 1:49 am

If my company buys a new car, and transfers it to me as a director the next day

1. Does the company get a full balancing allowance?

2. Does it get a writing down allowance?

3. What are the proceeds? Nil or market value?

4. What is my benefit in kind value?

I think the correct treatment is simply that the car is transferred at its cost, so the company gets no allowances and the benefit in kind is the full price.

Or the cost is deducted from your loan account with the company. No BIK would arise.

What was the purpose of such a transaction?
