Bromley is the largest London borough by area, so many directors drive to jobs instead of taking a train. That makes mileage logs, van purchases and capital allowances worth attention. It is also home to large numbers of tradespeople and small healthcare and childcare providers, who tend to need CIS, payroll and a sensible year-end plan more than complicated tax structures.
A kitchen fitter based near Orpington buys a second van and takes on a subcontractor. We apply the CIS deduction rules, claim the van correctly and add the new cost to his monthly cash forecast.
Usually yes. A van used for the business qualifies for capital allowances, and VAT can normally be reclaimed on the purchase. Private use creates a benefit in kind, so we record it and report it correctly.
