Why Buying a Van Before 5th April Unlocks 100% Tax Allowances

As the end of the tax year approaches, many UK businesses are missing a valuable opportunity to reduce their tax bill.

If you’re planning to invest in a new or used van this year, timing is critical. Purchasing and taking delivery before 5th April could unlock significant tax advantages and help you make better use of your profits.

100% Tax Allowances Available

Most vans qualify for full capital allowances, meaning you may be able to offset the entire cost of the vehicle against your taxable profits in the current tax year.

Reduce Your Tax Bill

Buying before the deadline could lower your corporation tax or income tax liability — keeping more cash in your business rather than handing it over to HMRC.

Invest, Don’t Waste

Instead of paying tax on unused profits, you’re investing in a productive business asset that supports growth, efficiency, and reliability.

Wide Choice & Flexible Finance

From brand-new or used, diesel or electric, there are a variety of hire purchase, lease, or tailored finance options available to suit your business needs. However, stock availability and delivery slots become increasingly limited as April approaches.

The Deadline Matters

To benefit from this year’s tax allowances, your van must be ordered and delivered before 5 April. Waiting too long could mean missing out altogether.

👉 If you’re even considering a van this year, a quick, no-obligation chat now could make a real difference to your tax position.

"Vanaways is really great, from contacting them up to the delivery can't be smoother than it was. These guys are professionals and I believe the best in the industry. Thanks to Philip Jones, Ross Davies, Jihad Khan and one or two individuals I had contact with throughout the process. I recommend Vanaways and will use them again."

"Staff here are so courteous & helpful, genuine in how they talk rather than that dreaded ‘business speak’. Reception and offices are modern & relaxing to be in, very cool music in background too! Some place just give you the basics - but I found Vanaways completely charming throughout, really appreciated thank you."
