Benefits of leasing an electric car in Leeds

Because electric cars are zero-emission, 100% of the rentals are allowable against tax.

For a car emitting 51g/km of CO2 (or higher), only 85% of the rentals are allowable - this is known as lease rental restriction of rental disallowance.

If you are VAT registered, you can claim up to 50% of the VAT on the finance element for a company car with private use, plus 100% of the VAT on any maintenance aspects of the rental. But note that for a car with CO2 emitting 51g/km of CO2 (or higher), the unreclaimed  VAT is restricted to 85% too.

What does a number plate on an Electric Car look like?

Leeds number plates

Living in Leeds you'll know that most cars in the area start with a W, and this is why. When a car is first regsitered in the area, it's allocated what is known as a memory tag. These are the first two letters of the number plate, and in Leeds they start with: YA, YB, YC, YD, YE, YF, YG, YH, YJ, YK.

When you lease a car, it may not come complete with a Leeds number plate. That’s because some cars on lease may come to you from a manufacturer in a different part of the country.

So if you are from Leeds and wish to have a number plate that matches, then you can switch it up and put a private plate on your car.

Can I put a private plate on my Leeds lease car?

Yes, you can put a private plate on your lease car. This can be arranged via your finance provider. If you've bought brand new number plates, you should fill out a V750 form. If the number plate was used previously, you should fill out a V317 or V778.
