  • Yes, they get taxed as a benefit in kind. The amount of additional tax depends on the list price of the car, CO2 emissions etc.
    Thinking critically since 1996....

    Yes. You do.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    Yes you do get taxed and, if you do end up in a position with a company car, make sure the company declares that you have it and your tax code is correct. HMRC will soon send you a large bill if not...trust me :(
