A cost deducted off profits
Assuming that the van is 100% used for business purposes then all of the leasing costs are deducted off profits (not deducted off tax due **).
If instead the van were instead to be bought outright or on loan/HP finance then the cost price of the van can be deducted off profits in the year of purchase (tax relief upfront rather than spread over a number of years as is the case with leasing).
** How much the tax bill drops will depend upon the tax rates applicable, eg. 20% if a Ltd Co (Corporation Tax) or different rates if an individual (ie. Income Tax at 20%, 40% or 45% plus class 4 NIC at 2% or 9%).
Haha
Is that a question or a piece of breaking news?
Maybe when they heard it they thought 'best inform the accountants'.
Although..
Although if you buy a trailer by the sea and proceed to sell your dreams to me - that is 100% deductible
