Company Car Q's

[Fred Bloggs]

Could be worth considering a "Qualec" vehicle?

HMRC QUALEC Info.

See example 5.

If you can keep the client down to only being onsite 2 days a week then the 24 month rule does not apply.

Unfotunately not quite right in these circumstances. You can continue to claim expenses if you have been on client site for a maximum of 40% of the time over the last 2 years. As the OP has been onsite for 100% of the time for 12 months (an assumption I admit...) and then was onsite for 40% of their time over the next 12 months then they would still have been on client site for 70% of their time on average over 24 months and so the 24 month role would apply.

and... as I believe it.... even if you work it out as 39% this may not gaurantee you will pass. Think about what this is trying to achieve and clamp down on. To pass a figure that is deemed reasonable does not mean you are in the clear. I would expect they would still be quite happy to investigate and arrive at the conclusion you are trying to avoid this situation rather than actually complying with the reason it exists.

So basically get another gig for when I know I am gonna go over 24 months.
