Company Car Tax Calculation

Mercedes-Benz A-Class A 250 e AMG Line Executive 8G-DCT

A company car driver can expect to pay vehicle benefit tax If the company pays for the use of fuel on private journeys, tax on fuel benefit will also be applied. Use our fuel benefit check tool to give you an indication of what this would look like.

For a monthly paid car driver on the PAYE system with the correct tax code, one twelfth of the appropriate amount of tax will be deducted from income via the monthly payroll. The car benefit is added to your income for tax purposes. For an individual already close to the threshold for higher rate tax, some will be taxed at 20 percent, and some at 40 percent. The P11D value is fixed for the life of the car according to the new list price when first registered, but other rates may change.

Earnings

Untaken allowance or salary sacrificed p/a

Include bonus and commissions subject to tax in the salary total.

Enter the annual amount of your car allowance that could be taken if you did not have a company car, or enter the amount of salary sacrificed. You may be taxed on this amount if it is higher than the car BIK. Look for a specialist Salary Sacrifice tool if you wish to explore the full impacts of such a scheme.

With private fuel

Portion of allowance or salary sacrificed for fuel

Enter the amount of salary sacrifice or cash allowance that is used towards private fuel.
For example, if you sacrifice £6,000 p/a and £4,000 of that is for the vehicle, enter the difference of £2,000 for fuel.
