Van Benefit and Directors

Ellabobbin

Good Morning,

We have a new client who was previously with one of the local chartered accountant practices.

This is a sole director limited company and they have previously charged him van benefit on a van used purely for business - he uses a car for his private travel.

This seems a little harsh, I have looked through the legislation but can see no restrictions whereby a director with use of the van must be considered to have private use... Am I missing something, or as long as he uses the van only for business purposes can we not report it on a P11D?

Many thanks
