Does a company car affect my Tax credit allowance?

Options
Hi, I currently have a company car which I guess is a benefit in kind.
My company is now offering a payrise which I was going to use to fund my own car. I guess that this would be beneficial as my tax code would change but would it affect my tax credit claim?

Any advice would be appreciated as I am a thick bloke!!:eek:

  • Company cars are a benefit in kind. You would declare the "cash equivalent" as income for tax credit purposes.

    in theory, one should cancel out the other, unless your employer is going to give you a pay rise, that is greater than the 'value' given to your current company car on your current P9D or P11D

    you have been declaring a company car in your income totals for CTC havent you?
