OK let’s get the bad news out of the way.<\/p>\n
Yet again it’s the official car sales figures – this time for February. New vehicle sales were down a whopping 22% in February. This equates to just under 20,000 less vehicles sold compared with the month of February 2008.<\/p>\n
However this is positively mild news when compared with the US. The equivalent statistic stateside for the same month was that sales were down an incredible 41% (General Motors down 53% alone!). It’s actually the lowest monthly sales figures seen in the US for 28 years.<\/p>\n
So whilst the local news has to be considered ‘bad news’ – it could have been a lot worse.<\/p>\n
So, the Good News?<\/p>\n
Well it’s good news for those who are looking to purchase a car for business use. After some uncertainty, it has now been confirmed that motor vehicles will fall into the right asset category to claim a 30% tax break on the purchase this financial year. There are a ton of details as you’d expect but in layman’s terms if you are running a business and have had any plans to purchase a car in the next 18 months or so, you should consider ordering now, or at least before June 30. http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/webbankir-online-zaim-na-kartu.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OK let’s get the bad news out of the way.
