What is Benefit in Kind?
Cars
If your new vehicle is a company car, that will be made available for private use, a "benefit in kind" value will be calculated on which you will pay tax.
How is it calculated?
The full price of the car including optional extras, manufacturers delivery and VAT, known as the P11D value is multiplied by the appropriate % based on the CO2's of the car, (please see table below for appropriate %)
You will be charged tax on this amount at the highest rate at which you pay income tax.

Fuel Charge
If your employer provides fuel for your private use this is a benefit to you and will incur a tax charge.
This is calculated by multiplying £16900 (a set amount irrespective of car driven) by the same % derived from the CO2 of your car, see above or table below.
Vans
If you are given a company van, and are allowed unrestricted private use, you will be charged tax on £3,000 p.a. if you are also allowed fuel for your private mileage tax will be charged on £500.
Unlike cars, journeys in a van between home and work do not count as private use as long as the van is mainly used for work journeys. In this situation no tax charge is made against the employee.
