Let's face it most people don't want the exploitation that is Zero hours contracts. I'm also guessing that most of these will be on or near minimum wage? So what if the employer "loses" a few hours of pay in those situations! And yes, I would agree with the EU on this!
Just watch if a canopy is fitted. That weight has to be deducted from the payload and if the canopy is too heavy - in this case > 100kg - it will no longer have a > 1 ton payload!
My interpretation of 4.a is the situation where you have a "field trip" with more than 1 person in the business going on the same or similar journey, i.e. you can't claim as well as someone else.
I would feel completely comfortable with making that claim.
And just be sure that your company hasn't been claiming the VAT already! I've come across that before! Yes, even without VAT invoices - Software tends to assume the category of spending has VAT and could well have been accounting for it!
It wasn't admission to a bike show... ...and the guy uses a bike to go to see clients and therefore was a "necessary expense" now was it?
Might it not be more cost effective for your client to pay the BIK than have you rack up time in the name of a principled stand?
Just noticed your post going through the web trying to workout how to apportion private use.
You'll be taxed as a bik on the portion of business use but have to pay NIC on the whole lot, as there is no apportionment for them - unless you repay the private use (hence my search, as last year this cost me a bit). Most "pundits" seem to take the logical approach of mileages but then there's the whole "made available for use irrespective of whether actually used" bit from HMRC for which I have used days available, I.e not being used for business travel means a private day even if not ridden!

I run a couple of motorcycles through my company and I apportion them on mileage. Seems the fairest way tbh. Why 2? Commuting eats their value!
As I just noticed in the original title!
And have you ever noticed wierd looks weird when you mis-spell it!
"Arrr, that you be!"
Check you haven't been reclaiming VAT

Company is running two bikes
Hi Pete,
Just noticed your post going through the web trying to workout how to apportion private use.
You'll be taxed as a bik on the portion of business use but have to pay NIC on the whole lot, as there is no apportionment for them - unless you repay the private use (hence my search, as last year this cost me a bit). Most "pundits" seem to take the logical approach of mileages but then there's the whole "made available for use irrespective of whether actually used" bit from HMRC for which I have used days available, I.e not being used for business travel means a private day even if not ridden!
Anyone have an opinion on the two approaches?
Thanks
Will
