I'm sure the OP knows whether he owns it or not.

No really?

But the council may not know. It's still worth a phone call, don't you think?

you have to be polite about these things, you can get his car towed, but he is a lowlife and can make your life hell. vandalise your property when you're out etc.

Every "tax-deductable" pound will cost you 80p, rather than "nothing at all".

yeah what !!!!!! math. When my business became VAT registered some ingenious guy suggested that I buy a brand new car through the company cos it will be vat free. I asked him so whose going to pay the 82% [rough estimate] of the cost of the car?

corporation tax is 20%, for any tax deducable expenses you make. 20% is reduced from your tax owed, and 80% is reduced for your pocket.

Over here, we prefer to call it 'maths'. As in 'mathematics'. With an 's'.

One of the few things for which the VAT is not reclaimable as an input.


On the other hand if you are a VAT registered company then something (other than a car) that costs £100 retail will actually cost you £69.44 after reclaiming the VAT and setting the net figure against Corporation Tax.

The first thing that I would be doing is to check that the vehicle that is being parked there is totally legal (MOT, tax and insurance) and if not, then reporting it to the police.
These are easy to check online:
MOT & tax

Insurance.

DON'T check the insurance using the link above. I did this once for a car that was abandoned in our street and mentioned it to the police. A PCSO came round to tell me off because you're only allowed to use Askmid to check your own vehicle. So embarrassing.
