Mk5 gti to Mk7 R contract hire deal

[Manney]

Thinking about trading my mk5 gti for a mk6 tsi r.

Then I saw this:

Brand new mk7 tsi r!!  Put it through my business, can claim half the vat back and fully deductible against tax.

This would workout to cost about £4000 per year after claiming half the vat back (I use my car for business use).  My mk5 gti has cost me £2000 per year in depreciation and £1000 in tax and maintenance. 

Thoughts please

10k annual mileage probably not good if you use your car for business...

Oh wow, wish I hadn't seen that.

What is it on Personal Contract?  What's the BIK Tax on these for Business Users...

What about the benefit in kind for tax purposes

Hmmm just had a read around the subject.  Might just stick to plan A, get a Mk6 R.
