Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions fleet operators, freight carriers and owner-drivers ask about specialist haulage accounting.
How are fleet vehicle allowances claimed?
Commercial vehicles qualify for capital allowances including full expensing on qualifying new HGVs. Lease versus purchase analysis determines the most tax-efficient route. Annual Investment Allowance covers trucks, trailers and equipment.
How does VAT work on fuel costs?
Haulage companies reclaim VAT on business fuel. Fuel cards simplify records but need proper documentation. Duty rebates may apply to fuel consumed off public roads in depots or yards.
What is operator licence financial standing?
The Traffic Commissioner requires operators to demonstrate adequate financial reserves. Standard licence holders must show available funds per vehicle. Your accounts must support this at renewal and compliance checks.
How is driver employment status determined?
HMRC assesses whether drivers are employees or self-employed based on control, equipment provision and financial risk. Misclassifying employed drivers as self-employed creates significant tax and employment rights liability.
Can driver CPC training be claimed?
Yes. The 35-hour periodic Certificate of Professional Competence training every five years is a deductible business expense. Initial CPC qualification costs and licence renewal fees are also allowable.
Can ABM support haulage companies nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves haulage companies across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to fleet operators, freight carriers and owner-drivers.
