Company Car

Hi, I'm after a little advice.......

Basically I've been offered a new job which involves a company car. I know very little of what this entails for me. I've heard some good and bad stories regarding the benefits of having a company car. All I'm really after is the basics and what this means to me in financial terms.

I think the car will be an Audi A3 but not sure on engine size etc.

Any help would be much appreciated! :cool:

Thanks

BTW i'm a new poster so apologies if this is on the wrong thread

    Tax is charged on the list price of the vehicle and its CO2 emissions. The benefit is reduced pro rata if yu nly have the car for part of the year. You have to make the judgement as to whether you could run your own vehicle for less than the tax charge on a company car.
