Capital allowances for vans

A van with zero CO2 emissions is eligible for a 100% first year allowance if purchased before April 2021.

Other vans bought new from 1st April 2023 can be fully expensed.

Annual Investment Allowance

The annual investment allowance means you can deduct the full value of qualifying expenditure up to the limit of £1,000,000 per year.

Where qualifying expenditure exceeds the annual cap, tax relief will be given under the normal capital allowance regime via the main or special rate pools, with writing down allowances being given at the appropriate rates.
