Is a used plug in hybrid car less tax efficient than new?

[Crazy4557]

I'm looking to buy via my LTD company a plug in Hybrid Land Rover but unsure if the most tax efficient way to purchase is new or would a used one still be subject to the same or higher BIK and capital allowances.
If used it would be under 12 months old.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about hybrids but my own experience with an iX3 is that to be beneficial to the company it had to be a new vehicle or a demonstrator. This was the same for the last diesel van that we bought so think this will still apply to you.

BIK remains the same for a vehicle regardless if it is new or used.

I thought the same re new or ex demo but I can’t find anything online to clarify the point.

The 100% year one capital allowance only extends to new/unused zero emission vehicles eg BEVs

PHEV - whether new or used - would be written down gradually so similar treatment to a used BEV

Thanks, that's useful.

So, does the business lose any tax allowances whether the vehicle is new or used (not an ex demonstrator)
