    That seems dodgy.
    I think he says to consider lease payments as drawings. The mileage is only for tax efficiency

    Thats what my accountant said when asked if it's possible to avoid BIK on leased car on company name:

    Hi Tomasz,

    You could put it in the company name and put all the costs associated as drawings. What we would then need is a legitimate and logged mileage claim to clear the overall cost.

    Example

    Cost in the year £250*12 =£3000

    Miles needed to clear the cost £3000/.45 = 6,666.66 miles in the year.

    If there was a shortfall in miles done for the year then this would be a drawing to you in dividends.

    All petrol and running costs would be drawings also as you cannot claim petrol and running costs against a personal car, only mileage.

    Hope this helps

    Kind regards

    I find it hard to understand.

    You've nothing to learn, you're already under the impression that a badge has some equity and your posts are all illiterate bollocks so if you drive with that quality then you're set as a BMW owner (or utter cockwomble as a realistic alternative).

    I do hope your badge and your debt make you immensely pleased with your life.
