Where a business has multiple trades, each individual leased expensive car must be allocated to a specific trade. Select the trade by selecting the Trade name drop-down option.
For leases commencing on or after 1 April 2013 for corporation tax, cars with CO2 emissions of over 130g/km or more face a 15% lease rental restriction , meaning that they can only deduct 85% of any rental payments against their taxable profits.
For leases commencing on or after 1 April 2009 for corporation tax, cars with CO2 emissions of over 160g/km or more face a 15% lease rental restriction, meaning that they can only deduct 85% of any rental payments against their taxable profits.
In addition, where there is a chain of leases, this disallowance will only apply only to rental payments made by one lessee in a chain of leases.
Expenditure under leases that commenced prior 1 April (that is where the car is made available before April 2009) will continue to be subject to the “old” rules.
