Most small businesses qualify for 100% first year writing down allowances. This means that you can effectively offset the whole cost of your van against taxable profits. Previously you could only offset 25% of the cost per annum but you can now accelerate the benefit.

So let’s say that you make a taxable profit of £35,000 in the tax year to 5th April 2010. If you’re a 40% tax payer you would then be expected to pay £14,000 tax to the Inland Revenue by 31st January 2011.

If you buy a new van at any time in that tax year i.e. up to and including 5th April, you can offset the whole cost against your taxable profit. So say you bought a van for £10,000 – you can reduce your taxable profit by £10,000 to just £25,000.

Thus you defer paying £4,000 to the tax man!

As an example, the £10,000 van could cost £252.93 per month on Hire Purchase over 48 months.

Consequently the £4,000 that the tax man has saved you will pay your Hire Purchase payments for 15 months!

Vivaro Sportive

VIVARO IS ECONOMY CHAMP!

- Vauxhall Vivaro wins MPG Marathon
- Luton-built van achieves 60% improvement on official combined economy
- 55mpg over 360-mile route

Running costs are critical to both van fleet managers and private customers alike and Vauxhall's Vivaro has proven itself as the out-and-out champ in terms of van fuel economy by winning the commercial vehicle category of the 2009 Fleetworld /ALD MPG marathon.

The British-built van achieved an overall figure of 55.25mpg on the 360-mile drive. This represents an improvement of 60.6% over the van's official combined economy figure of 34.4mpg and proves that a smooth and careful approach to driving can pay huge dividends to drivers looking to cut their costs.

The winning van was a Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0CDTi 115PS SWB, the most popular of the Luton-built models.

"I knew that by keeping the Vivaro within its peak torque curve and by reading the road ahead we stood a good chance," said Andrew. "But to achieve a 60 per cent improvement really shows that van drivers can achieve superb results by applying a responsible approach to their driving."

It has won its category in the marathon before but the figure of 55mpg is the best ever achieved by a Vauxhall Vivaro on the event - comprehensively beating rivals including a Ford Transit and Mercedes Vito.

VAUXHALL VIVARO VOTED BEST MEDIUM VAN 2009 BY VAN FLEET WORLD

Vauxhall Vivaro wins Best Medium Van category for seventh time

The Vauxhall Vivaro has once again seen off all competition and claimed the top award for Best Medium Van at the 2009 Van Fleet World Awards.

The awards are now in their tenth year which makes the Vauxhall Vivaro the most successful winner in its class having won the Best Medium Van title no less than seven times in addition to the Best New Van Award following its launch in 2001.

The UK-built Vauxhall Vivaro has proved itself a favourite with customers too, with its innovative line-up of Euro 4 diesel engines, flexible range of conversions and back-up from a comprehensive network of Vauxhall Retailers.

Vivaro remains a good van to drive with quiet engines and a fine balance of ride and handling either empty or fully loaded. The engine range includes 90PS or 115PS 2.0-litre common-rail diesel as well as a 2.5-litre 146PS common-rail diesel engine. Both the 2.0CDTI 115PS and 2.5CDTI are available with the semi-automatic six-speed Tecshift gearbox. The Vivaro Sportive represents a great looking van with excellent cabin features including air conditioning

Citroen Berlingo First

The Berlingo First van is one of the best selling Citroëns in the UK and it continues to be the first choice in the small van market.

As well as being practical and versatile, the Berlingo First is safe and secure. In the event of an impact safety features like driver’s airbag, optional ABS and reinforced side protection will look after you and with security features like central locking and transponder immobiliser fitted as standard on all models, it will look after itself and your load as well.

The Berlingo First is comfortable and a joy to drive. The cabin interior is comfortable and ergonomically arranged so it feels more like that of car. If your business requires you to be hopping in and out of your van all day, it is good to know that the seats in the Berlingo First have been specially designed to endure this type of activity.  When the time comes for you to do paperwork out on the road you also have the availability of a fold down passenger seat to create a handy table-top.
