Finance Act 2009

Summary

1.Section 30 and Schedule 11 make provision for the reform of the rules for tax relief for business expenditure on the purchase and hire of cars and motor cycles. The rate at which capital allowances can be claimed and the proportion of rental payments that may be deducted for tax will be determined by the carbon dioxide emissions of the car, rather than its cost as under the current rules. Motor cycles are taken out of the definition of a car for capital allowances and for the purposes of restricting the tax deduction for lease rental payments.
