How is it taxed?
The amount of tax relief you get will depend on how much CO2 your company cars use.
You can reclaim all the VAT on a new car if you use it only for business. It must not be available for personal use if you wish to reclaim all the VAT. For example it must be parked at work over night and cannot go home with the employee or director.
If you are paying for your employees car for private use through the company you'll need to report this to HMRC separately and at the end of the tax year ensure you report on form P11D and pay Class 1A National Insurance on the value of the car benefit.
