Hello,
I placed an order for a MYLR on 25th April 2022. The ETA delivery is September 2022 (after previously showing June). I've been tracking all the shipping movements non-stop! I can tell there's a lot of people 'in-front' of me in the queue, so I'll work on my patience.
Anyway, this thread is asking advice/experience of anyone who has bought (or is planning to buy) a Tesla through their own private limited company. I am a contractor so have a PLC and for now I'm outside IR35. My accountant made a bold statement that I could save about £10,000 if buying through the company, due to CT relief. However, I think this assumes the car devalues or I never sell it. If I wanted to sell after 3-4 years, I am guessing it won't have depreciated that much in value given the current market & demand for EVs and Teslas in particular. Therefore, the true saving would be a lot less (as I would then have to pay CT on my revenue from selling it).
The accountant also mentioned I would get tax relief on associated costs like maintenance etc.,
Another caveat is it only works if I make enough outside IR35 income to cover it, which I'm not yet sure of.
Just wondering if anyone else has any other factors I should think of before choosing whether to go personal/business. Tesla did say I could change it to business if I wanted without having to start a whole new order, so that's good if I decide to do it.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
