Okay so I'm wondering what benefit are there in buying a company car? My brother in law has his own business and just bought a car under my sister's name. It's a 2nd hand Exora for the workers to drive. If I'm not mistaken, buying company car for company use can deduct tax right?
So is it better to spend a few extra thousand for company car or just save the money n put as private?

QUOTE(Yggdrasil @ Aug 15 2018, 02:03 PM) You can claim capital allowance on the vehicles but there is a restriction on the amount you can claim. Also, the vehicle must be used in the production of business income. Disposing the asset within 2 years (i.e. to ownself/family member etc) will cause a claw back to be imposed by way of balancing charge unless there is a valid reason (i.e. cessation of business). If not mistaken, I think the ownership of the vehicle must be in the company's name and not your sister's name. If your sister uses the car regularly too, she might have to include it in her income tax computation as benefit in kind. So let's say a new car and a 2nd hand car, does it affect the capital allowance or its fixed on any types of motor vehicles? N how much is the maximum amount u can claim either. It's gonna be driven to the scrap yard, not going to change ownership anytime soon so it won't be a problem That's what I thought. Which is why I have absolutely no idea why they did it.

Whew Macam reading from textbook. But understand so far. So it is far better to register as a company car as it proves more beneficial then private. Makes total sense
