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.

Yes,
if you purchased motor car acquired on or after 23th aug but before 1 Apr 2020 and put to use before 1apr 2020

other than those in a business them on hire , the rate of depreciation will be 30%.
(earlier the rate was 15%)

in case of motor buses, motor taxies, motor lorries used in a business of running them on hire , the rate of dep will be 45%
(earlier the rate was 30%)
If motor vehicle is acquired in January 2020 then what will be the depreciation rate ?
The rate for dep is: if use of motor car in hiring business then 45% otherwise rate will be 30%.

since you used less than 180 days hence 50% of the amount of dep will be allowed.
