Leasing a car is a great option for self-employed individuals and is definitely worth it. There are tax advantages when leasing a car if self-employed including offsetting 50% of the leasing VAT if you’re VAT registered (100% if you’re leasing a van). Also, if your leasing payments are a cost to the company then you will be able to claim back this against your tax return. Leasing a car also means regular payments that your company can budget for, and road tax is included, freeing up that additional expense from your company expenses.
