Tax Implications of Ambulance Finance The type of ambulance finance or lease agreement chosen affects your tax position. For VAT-registered businesses, you may be able to reclaim 100% of the VAT on monthly payments if the ambulance is used solely for business. This also applies to charitable institutions providing care or medical or surgical treatment for disabled persons.
With limited companies, up to 100% of monthly payments can potentially be claimed back through corporation tax. This applies according to HMRC emissions allowances. Maintenance packages may also qualify for tax relief. Additionally, if you are registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC), you can claim tax relief on the cost of your registration, which is around £30 per year for basic rate taxpayers and £60 per year for higher rate taxpayers.
If you buy an ambulance with charitable funds or voluntary contributions, you may be exempt from vehicle tax. However, you still need to tax your vehicle even if you do not have to pay.
When you lease an ambulance for your organisation, you need to consider the maintenance and insurance responsibilities that come with it. Depending on the type of lease agreement you choose, these responsibilities may differ.
You also need to make sure the ambulance meets the standards of the ‘Fair Wear and Tear Guide’ when you return it to the finance company, otherwise you may face charges for any damage or excess mileage.
For insurance, the ambulance must be covered under your organisation’s motor insurance policy, regardless of the type of lease agreement. You need to have at least third-party cover, which is the minimum legal requirement in the UK, but you may also want to consider comprehensive cover, which offers more protection for your ambulance and your organisation. You should also check if your policy covers any medical equipment or supplies that you carry in your ambulance, or if you need to take out a separate medical transport insurance.
Additionally, you may want to look into breakdown cover, which can provide you with roadside assistance and recovery services in case your ambulance breaks down.
At the end of a ambulance finance agreement, you'll usually have these options:
Review business needs and condition of the vehicle to decide the best end-of-term choice. Discuss requirements with your finance provider early on.
The right model, acquired strategically through the optimal finance solution, can be a game changer for your business. With an understanding of the options and expert support, you can secure an essential vehicle while maintaining financial flexibility.

I approached Clifton Private Finance to help me get a mortgage as an Expat working in the Far East. I would normally 'cut out the middle man' on something like this and try to get myself a deal directly with the banks, but I am now sold on the broker concept and wouldn't hesitate to use Clifton Private Finance again. There were a number of complicating factors such as being an expat, the stamp duty holiday, the sheer amount I wanted to borrow and the fact I wanted it all wrapped up before the Stamp Duty holiday ended. It is clear to me now that the relationship that brokers have managed to foster with their banks means they can simply pull levers and make stuff happen that us ordinary folk cannot. Put simply, they are worth every penny, will take most of the stress out of the lending process, and seem to have access to deals that you just won't find on the internet. Thank you George and Jan for all your hard work!

Luther was excellent. Very clear in his advice and explanations of products and was able to move things on very quickly when we ran into difficulties with the estate agents. Without a doubt I would recommend Luther to all friends, family and colleagues. Luther was a joy to deal with and took a lot of the stress out of a troublesome transaction, from my end. I would view Luther as real asset to Clifton Private Finance Ltd.

The team at Clifton Private Finance has been outstanding, not only in helping me to obtain a mortgage on a slightly unusual home, but also in continuing to provide support and liaise with the lender and solicitors through to completion. Thank you for making the process of buying my first home much easier.

Sam O'Neill, and the new lender he identified for me, worked tirelessly together using my time constraints, to make sure my mortgage application was completed on time. They are a brilliant company to work with, fast, efficient, open and transparent from the very beginning, and turned a seemingly impossible situation into a viable one. Sam was brilliant throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend him, and his colleague Helen, to anyone without hesitation, I cannot speak highly enough about them.

I was incredibly lucky to find Clifton Private Finance after a search on line as their service has been more than exemplary. My point of contact was Sam 0’Neill and he was happy to help at every stage during the application of the bridging loan, making a stressful process much easier to deal with. He was always available by phone or email and gave prompt answers to queries I had as well as always getting back to me when he said he would. That to me is excellent customer service and I cannot thank him personally or the company enough for the support they have given me.

Adam cannot thank you enough for all your support throughout this arrangement. You have gone more than the extra mile to support us. Without you we would not have got our dream retirement home. You have been most professional and personable. Liz and I would be more than happy if you wanted to use us a reference with respect to any future clients.

You have certainly shown me that you do everything for your clients, including tolerating their excessive emails and questions for updates. I have been kept in the loop, from yourself, about why the delays were occurring (Nationwide, post etc) which I would like to highlight that I really appreciated. I certainly will be able to recommend you to others as and when the need arises.
Mr Morris
I recently contacted Clifton Private Finance after a Google search for bridging finance providers and was immediately struck by their efficiency and support. Forms were emailed over almost immediately and the necessary finance was arranged within a few days. None of the other companies I contacted came close to their professionalism, and the quote that I eventually received was impressive. Thank you Adam, your help has enabled us to reserve the house that we wanted and I certainly recommend you to others.

Absolutely brilliant. The service was first class, got everything sorted efficiently and were always friendly. Any fees were negligible compared to the service offered. Robert was particularly outstanding.

My advisor, Robert, was very helpful in finding the mortgage to suit me. He kept me up to date throughout the process and dealt with any issues when they arose.
