Comments on: How do we prevent a pool car or van from being taxed as a company vehicle? http://www.payroll-help.com/uncategorized/prevent-a-pool-car-or-van-from-being-taxed/ Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:37:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ian Holloway http://www.payroll-help.com/uncategorized/prevent-a-pool-car-or-van-from-being-taxed/#comment-5425 Ian Holloway Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:37:07 +0000 http://www.payroll-help.com/?p=4169#comment-5425 Hi, The only stumbling block is that it does fall foul of one of the fundamental rules of defining a pool car, i.e. that it is not normally left overnight at a home address. However, I believe that this is changed if the actual business is based at that address. In these circumstances, I believe that it would meet the definition of a pool car. However, with HMRC it is always best to get everything confirmed. Therefore, I would advise that you make contact with them, explain that the car is certainly a pool car, however, because the business is based at home, it is likely that the car will be left there. However, in reality, this is just leaving the pool car at the office, its just the office is at home. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Ian Holloway The Learn Centre Hi,
