Listen "Charging Ahead"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 4: Charging Ahead. With average vehicle costs up 40% since Covid, buying or leasing a car or van for your business is a huge expense - where mistakes could land you with costly tax bills. Special guest Toby Poston, corporate affairs director at the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association, joins co host Ellie Rayner of Accord Accountants to guide you through key options and choices for getting on the road in a world where the tax regime has bounced the business user into the electric future. Salary sacrifice, benefits in kind, VAT, emissions taxation and much more is all explained in this highly informative episode that's a must listen for anyone who needs to get mobile for their work. An influential voice in the UK car world, Toby also surprises Ellie and co-host Nigel Cassidy with his explanation of how a glut of previously-leased electric vehicles is flooding the second hand car market, at prices competitive with petrol cars - though ultimately distorting the market. We also discover how Ellie took her first tentative turns at the wheel on the roof of Brent Cross shopping centre - and Nigel probably inhaled too much fibreglass in his youth patching up his first rusty Mini.
