Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies amendments to vehicle depreciation rates for the 2019-20 UK tax year. For motor cars acquired between 23rd August 2019 and 1st April 2020, and used before 1st April 2020 (excluding hire businesses), the depreciation rate has increased to 30%. For motor buses, taxis, and lorries used in hire businesses, the rate is now 45%. If a motor vehicle was acquired in January 2020, the depreciation rate is 45% for hire businesses and 30% otherwise. Importantly, if the vehicle was used for less than 180 days, only 50% of the calculated depreciation amount is allowable.
