Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the challenge of including a vehicle purchased in 2015 on the balance sheet of a business established in 2020, which is filing its first tax return. Key considerations include determining if the vehicle is for business use, how to calculate depreciation from the purchase date, and whether the invoice needs to be in the business's name. The advice suggests valuing the vehicle at its fair market price in 2020 as capital introduced and then calculating depreciation from that point onwards.

How this vehicle is for Business purpose or connected to business ?. , when business is started and registered in 2020 , and vehicle purchase in the year 2015.
Personal vehicle and business is start from 20215 but but file the return for first time in year 2020
Vehicle Invoice should be in the name of Business to show in Balance sheet .

Pls post some values so the impact can be assessed.
My advice. ascertain fair market value in 2020 and treat it as capital introduced and then take depreciation from 2020 at applicable rate
Vehicle invoice must be in the name of business entity which have to be shown in balance sheet
