Maybe...

But such a system is open to very easy abuse. Let's say I fancy a nice 4x4 "so that I can tow people stuck in the snow in winter". Do I get to write off the cost of my 4x4 just because I tow people in snow two days a year?

You’d write off two days of the year, give or take depending on their calculation for depreciation and such. Now if you bought t only for that purpose and didn’t use it any other time...

Or... start a business, and throw some ads on the side of it...

Great point. Not only that, but the level of disorganization during these operations is probably enough to dissuade this type of tax program.
