To find out how much CO2 your company car emits,see...

  • the car’s V5 registration document
  • your dealer
  • the data pages of car magazines (current models)
  • the Vehicle Certification Agency www.vca.gov.uk

For cars registered from 1 January 1998 with no CO2
emissions figures, the tax charge is 15% of the list price
for engines up to 1,400 cc, 22% for engines of 1,401
cc to 2,000 cc and 32% for engines above 2,000 cc.

The list price includes accessories and is subject to an upper limit of £80,000.

List price is reduced for capital contributions made by the employee up to £5,000.

Employee contributions reduce the taxable benefit pound for pound.

There are various discounts on the percentages for cars driven on alternative fuels.


Fuel Benefits

The car fuel benefit is calculated by applying the above
car benefit percentage to a figure of £16,900. (2007-08 - £14,400)

The fuel benefit charge is proportionately reduced if provision of private fuel ceases part way through the year.

The fuel benefit is reduced to nil only if the employee pays for all private fuel.
