My company has 2016 car

Bought for $27,000 in May 2020

Instant asset write off that year.

Used 88% business 12% personal.

 

Car is now worth $35,000 via RedBook

Don’t want to use as daily work vehicle any more to keep kms low on it as believe it will keep appreciating

So would like to purchase new work vehicle

 

What is best option for the 2016 car?

 

1)     Keep it in company name & no longer claim any expenses against.

Use only for private,

Will this result in FBT?

 

2)     Sell to director of company as per example below from ATO website

Sell to director for $3,500

11% of market value equals $3,500 GST payable

No CGT as per ATO link below?

Is this allowed & is there any other fee involved with selling the car at a lower value?

 

3)     Any other idea?

  1. Yes - unless you cash it out.
  2. Car has to be sold for market value - for GST, FBT and Div 7A.
  3. You should get proper advice before doing anything.
