Leasing a car for self employment is 100% expenses isn’t it?

I hear it’s far better to lease rather than buy when your self employed

    There are a few websites now like air b&b but for your car.

    Drive.co.uk is one of them.

    Can you hire out a lease car on one of these sites?

    Even if your not supposed to, how would they know?

    Is this the car you plan to rent out to other people, whilst claiming income support and declaring that you only earn £20 a week?

    As the car would not solely be used for your business then the answer is no, 100% of the costs cannot be ascribed to the business.
