I m a self employed Driving instructor and last year my 13 yrs old vehicle broke down so I purchased a new dual control Electric car through PCP. I use 80% for business useage and 20% for personal My accountant has recently retired and I m getting mixed messages from different accountants on how to claim tax relief for 2022-23. Some say I can claim 100%(80%) under Plant and Machinery because it's fitted with dual control. Yet others say because I purchased it through PCP, it is count as leased so can only be claim as Expenses, £5000 deposit plus my monthly payments. I was wondering which is correct?
