Hi, The owner of a company has his own private car which is not under as an asset of the company but the car is being used for business purposes also. Can fuel and other vehicle costs be recorded as an expenses? if so, that means car should also be considered as an asset in balance sheet? looking forward for your kind and valuable comments, thanks!

Either claim business mileage at the approved HMRC rates (45p and 25p) so no BIK arises (and no other motoring costs go into the accounts) or introduce the car as an asset on the balance sheet and claim motor costs but this results in a car benefit reportable on owner's P11D (and income tax and class 1 A NIC). If fuel is also paid again a fue benefit arises and business mileage may be claimed at the HMRC advisory fuel rate. I have assumed the owner is also a director.1
