I'm trading using my company name, and want an advise before buying a car under the company name.
What taxes are deductible when buying/using a car under the company name?
I understand it's the following (and correct any mistakes I have please):
- GST is deductible if I paid GST as part of the purchase price
- depreciation, but at what rate annually?
I hear lots about the "close company" usage for shareholders/FBT, I mean as a small business I have less than 5 shareholders, so I qualify, but can someone explain to me how it works in "english" not accounting jargon?
Cheers
I have used the below link in the past, and found it reasonably comprehensive (noting that its a 2019 page, so IRD have updated their km userates and potentially depreciation percentages as well). Goes without saying that using an accountant is incredibly useful in these circumstances.
