    As a full time hackney taxi driver what costs are you allowed to claim ?



    Is the cost of buying a new car ( VAT or other ) reduced ?


    Do you become a sole trader or what way are you taxed ?


    thanks in advance

    Costs associated with the car,like maintenance insurance tax NCT suitability diesel.
    Also you can claim a capital allowance to cover the depreciation of your car.Also any interest on a car loan.
    Other things might be phone cost,advertising,commission etc.
    VAT doesn't come into your accounts.
    Yes,you become a self employed sole trader.

    What way are you taxed?
    You register as self employed with Ros.
    Every November you pay preliminary tax(sort of a deposit on this year's taxes) and settle last year's taxes.
    With an accountant,this process is fairly straightforward.
