Hi everyone
Advice / Opinion needed please on the following scenario:
2 Business Partners, both Directors with 50% share, and both draw the same monthly salary.
They purchased a 'company vehicle' several months ago, of which Director A has since had full-time (personal) use of, with insurance, tax, fuel etc put through as business expenses.
Director B does not have a Full Drivers License, so cannot use / benefit from the vehicle. Director B is not in receipt of any equivalent Benefit In Kind, that would be of similar value to the vehicle & its' usage.
Question 1- Should annual tax liabilities reflect this - should ONLY Director A be chargeable to PAYE & PRSI on the vehicle, as opposed to the vehicle & running costs being attributed wholly to the company, as an expense?
Question 2 - would it be right for Director B to expect some other benefit of similar value, in keeping with the 50/50 share / fairness rule of a partnership?
thank you
