Have any of you UK Rex owners bought it through your company to benefit from the 100% first year write down? If so, how are you going to claim the cost of "fuel" from the tax man. At present, if you run a company car without company fuel you can claim 13p per mile for a diesel or 14p for a petrol vehicle for the fuel used. There is no allowance for an EV. My accountant suggested getting the company to provide the fuel and paying the BIK, but as I will charge from home (hopefully it arrives in the first week of September) and cannot monitor the cost of the electric being put into the batteries I cannot establish a cost to the company. As the Rex runs on petrol I am tempted to just claim 14p per mile until someone in the tax office comes up with an answer, which will probably be a derogatory amount that does not reflect the cost of running an essential vehicle.
