Thinking of getting a new car. Anyone know if it's possible to write off part of the value agains tax, if you're making 4-500 a month from MS (on top of the day job)?

vehicles can only be written off maintenance and running cost wise if used solely for business use or proportionately if also used privately, and purchase wise is a whole separate tax section not just deducting from profit, in the form of capital allowances as it becomes a company asset so not a simple as other expenses i believe
it also depends on the emissions of the car too i believe and there are factors to be considered when/if you sell the car
best bet is unless youre experienced or very good accounts wise (in which you prob wouldnt be asking) is to speak to an accountant

have a look here

There are two ways of calculating vehicle allowances; the mileage method (where you claim 45p a mile for every business mile, and that's supposed to cover everything) or the actual cost method which is far more complicated, and you'd have to keep detailed records of business mileage vs personal mileage then apportion all costs accordingly.

You do get a capital allowance doing it that way, but again it's complicated and depends on emissions levels and percentage of use that's for business. You then calculate the writing down allowance that you can claim each year. It's not nearly as simple as just writing a chunk of the cost off against profit.

If you choose one method then you have to stick with it for the length of time you've got the vehicle. You can't claim a writing down allowance for it one year then start claiming 45p a mile the next year for example. The tax course I went on recommended keeping records by both methods if you were unsure then deciding the first time you filled in a tax return which was better for you. I briefly considered it then decided that it wasn't worth the hassle.

There's probably a leaflet to explain it. Phone the HMRC self-employed helpline and ask them, they'll be able to advise.
