AIA and finance leases

I am after some clarification. I've read so many contradictions I'm not sure what to believe. My client has bought a van for his business. At the moment he cannot tell me if it's HP agreement but seems to think its his at the end of the period with the option to buy. Can I capitalise it now (for tax purposes)? Or is ownership still with the lessor and they're claiming the capital allowances for it?

Yes you can capitalise cost for CA if it's HP - a quick Google confirms with HMRC guidance here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/capital-allowances/plant.htm states you can claim CA as normal on the cost only (ie. not the finance charges).0

I assume the 'may be' relates to whether the asset is normally eligible for CA.

I would suggest the OP digests HMRC's Business Leasing Manual here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/MANUALS/blmmanual/Index.htm in conjunction with the Capital Allowances Manual from CA23300 onwards, here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/Manuals/camanual/CA23300.htm0
