Company Car Calculator

Can anyone direct me to a user friendly company car calculator?

Does a company car or company car cash allowance contribute to your anual tax level / threshold?

Thanks

    if you take cash, it will be taxed, effectively add it on to your salary.

    personally I take the cash, the faffing around with tax etc is something I can't bring myself to deal with.

    also worth bearing in mind you are taxed on the list price of a car, which can be much higher than the actual price of the car if you bought it privately.
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    It's for the year, not the month.

  • That's not too bad then, providing I get something sensible...

    Thanks
  • I wondered if anyone could help me. Oh, "Hello Everybody" by the way, this is my first post!!
    The company I work for lease all of their company cars. To reduce costs during the current recession, they've renegotiated the leases so that instead of 3 years, we now keep the cars for 4 years. I'm interested to know if there is a personal tax implication to this?
