Remember also that if you reimburse your employees the tax free amount of 45p a mile (25p after 10,000 miles) for using their own car for business purposes then 20/120ths of the above amounts can be reclaimed as input VAT by your business.
For example a petrol engine car over 2,000 cc = 21p x 1/6 = 3.5p VAT a mile
