What You Need to Know When Buying Company Cars

Many businesses can benefit from having multiple vehicles to be used by their employees. As the owner of a limited company, you will want to make sure that you get the right vehicles and understand your purchasing options as these can offer different tax liabilities and tax relief. So, if you are thinking of buying company cars for your business then keep reading for all that you need to know.

Price

Obviously, you need to work out how much you can afford to spend before you start looking. Buying just one car can be a major expense, plus you will have to factor in the various running costs of each car. This is why it is a good idea to look for used Audis as this will help you to keep costs down but you can still benefit from a brand that will impress and not let you down. Audi is a popular choice for company cars and this is because this is a premium brand with reliable, stylish and technologically-advanced vehicles.

CO2 Emissions

CO2 emissions should be another important factor when deciding on a company car. Obviously, you want to do your part to reduce your environmental impact and develop a green reputation, but this is also important in terms of tax. Company car tax rates are determined by the level of emissions, so you can lower your tax liabilities by opting for a car with low emissions.

Diesel, Petrol, Hybrid or Electric

Following this, you also need to consider whether you want to buy a diesel, petrol, hybrid or electric. In addition to the environment and your tax liability, this will also have an impact on the running costs. An electric car could be a smart option that saves you a lot of money in the long run, but you need to consider how these vehicles will be charged and if there is space for charging units at your place of business.

Running Costs

The cost of running a car is especially high right now, so it is important to calculate how much the vehicle will cost before making a decision. Fuel, insurance and maintenance can all be expensive, especially when you have a fleet to manage, so you need to try and choose vehicles that will keep the running costs down.

Consider Leasing

It is also worth exploring the idea of leasing your company cars instead of buying them. This can be cost-effective, you do not have to worry about depreciation and the costs are usually bundled into one monthly payment which can make it easier to manage. With this option, you can also upgrade to newer and better cars every few years as well.
