If you are taking that home at PP1 then expect that tax man to come knocking very soon and, like the rest of us, you’ll quickly realise extra work is pointless as it all gets taken away from you.
How much is a “small AVC”? And why is the number of cars you have relevant? Are you on the Tusker scheme?
