How Does a Company Car Scheme Work?
2
Once employees join the scheme, their wages must not drop below the national minimum wage.
3
A company car is considered a privilege that is paid for by the employer, this is a benefit on top of their annual salary, and as such, employees who enter a company car scheme must also pay Benefit-In-Kind (BIK) tax.
4
If your company car scheme includes fuel, employees will also need to pay tax on their annual fuel allowance.
5
The amount of tax owed on company cars is based on carbon dioxide emissions and the list price. Different rules apply according to the type of fuel used. Rates may go up or down over different tax year.

Our business vehicle experts can provide you with the best finance options to suit your needs, including bespoke packages.
What are the benefits of a company car?
No Financial Ties for the Employee
As the vehicle is leased through the business, the employee is not personally tied into a financial contract.
It is the company's responsibility to make sure the monthly payments are made on time, as well as any maintenance, servicing or MOT obligations.
No Unexpected Costs
If you are driving a company car, your employer will usualy cover insurance, car tax, servicing and maintenance.
Some companies also include a car fuel benefit, which often makes fueling your car cheaper, as fuel rates are based on a flat rate.
Low Benefit-in-Kind Rate
Tax rates are usually a small percente of a cars final cost.
This tax amount will be calculated from the vehicles CO2 emissions, fuel type and income tax rate.
Tax rates on electric and hybrid vehicles will be lower than other fuel types.
Recruitment Incentives and Employee Retention
A company car scheme is a great way to attract and retain members of staff.
A company car is an excellent way to show your current employees that you appreciate their hard work and set an example for new employees.
