Klaus Schwab Posted 14 June, 2022 Share Posted 14 June, 2022 If any of you own your own business then electric cars are a good option. 100% tax deductible (last time I checked) as long as they have a decent range. 250+ miles I think.

The cut that partially undoes the increase they piled on at a perilous time for many. No other country has increased taxes on people when everything is going through the roof. Like the 5p he gave us for petrol? The one that doesn't really give us a tax cut at all as the first 58p of every litre is 'fuel duty', but we pay VAT on 'fuel duty' (double tax whammy!), so we were paying 11.6p VAT on the fuel duty before we were given the generous 5p (temporary?) discount, meaning we currently only pay 6.6p tax on the fuel duty tax 😲 Welcome to Britain where we pay tax on our taxes - not sure why asylum seekers travel half way round the world to 'safety' for those benefits.

That's nice of them. Are they building up your positive balance ahead of the autumn rises? Mine is £250/month with Bulb and I'm only building a small balance during warm weather. The standing charges are ridiculous and I fully expect it to be easily another £100+ a month from the Autumn. For reference it's a 1970ish detached home, with 7 external walls due to some weirdly shaped bizarre extension that was done in the early 80s which does nothing for my energy efficiency ...

My EQB is quoted as 268 mile range, I'm averaging about 20 less than that, works fine for us as we do very low mileage, last car we did 3500 in 6 months. If you're doing low mileage then hybrid is ideal. Much more than 30 miles a day and it's pointless as you're back to using fuel. I know that sounds contradictory but I also run my own business so BIK is 2%, no road tax and 130% write off against corp tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
