    You can claim 100% of it as an expense.

    You may claim up to 100% of the cost of the van but as a capital allowance, not an expense. The difference is nil in monetary terms but if you are completing your own tax return the claimed amount will be in a diferent box.
    The only thing that is constant is change.
