Car emissions per CO₂ percentage limit

Drivers: If you are used to using a benchmark CO₂ percentage when selecting a new company car, this graph shows how quickly the levels of taxation are tightening. The CO₂ percentage is the proportion of the list price of the car considered to be the salary equivalent.

Employers: Understanding this trend is important when designing a company car scheme. The goverment needs to maintain tax revenues so will aim to tighten tax thresholds as fast as drivers adopt lower emission vehicles.
