https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=213400 A managing director does not become the owner of a company-owned car merely by signing registration records on behalf of the company. Where the vehicle is registered in the company's name and the insurance policy also names the company as insured owner, the claimant is treated as a separate legal person from the company and only as an occupant of the vehicle.
