Hi peoples,
Just a follow on from the "18year old with lots of nice toys (fancy cars!!)" thread in the lounge.
The idea of your trust purchasing a prestige car was mentioned. Just wondering what the rules are regarding trusts and cars? Can your trust lease a car? Buy outright? Tax advantages over a simple business lease or purchase? (presuming you also have your own business)
Sorry for raving on about fancy cars and I realise a lot of people see them as an evil waste of equity and bad debt but this idea is just as relevent to a cheaper,standard car as it is to prestige vehicles. On the other hand I'm sure there are lots of boys out there planing on buying a Porsche etc when they are wealthy from IP's! So what are some of the better ways of purchasing/leasing a car?
Cheers
Chris
