The way I look at it is, the lowest "tax cost" money I have in my pocket is dividend income. So, I would take the money as a divi and spend it rather than spend it via my P11D via the Ltd Co.

AFAIK, your company can pay for anything it likes, but it will declare it as a BIK on your P11D.

If your car costs more than 40p per mile to run you need to get a new car.

....or a rate increase.

So no IMO.

WHS.

The milage allowance is intended to cover repair and running costs as well as fuel.

Using car for business

Hi

I just wanted to know if i can claim car repairs on my business as well as claim the mileage allowance?

My car needs a service and it's going to cost about £700 for the service plus other parts, as i only do about 200 miles per month i don't think the allowance would cover the service cost.

Adivise needed please.
