What are the deemed proceeds?

What are the deemed proceeds?

Didn't find your answer?

Hi Everybody,

I'm having a 'blonde' moment!!

I have a client who is a private hire driver and he has been claiming capital allowances on his car. At the beginning of the 2011/12 tax year has a WDV of around £6000.

During the year he gave the car to his girlfriend (and transferred logbook etc.) for free and rented a car for the remainder of the year.

Obviously there is a disposal to be dealt with, but do I claim the remaining balancing allowance of £6,000 seeing as the proceeds are nil?

Or is there a problem due to the car being given to his girlfriend? My gut feeling is that I need to deem the proceeds at market value or WDV???

Any answers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Market value

He has withdrawn the car from the business and this can only be done at market value. Google "Parkers" for a guide to market value.

Agree with Phil, unless...

... he operates as a limited company.  In that case, the proceeds are nil for the CAs comp, but there's a BIK on the client for the market value transferred.

No, he's a sole trader, but thanks for the insight. 

Much appreciated.

thought that was implicit

in the wording of the question.
