  • If she has her employer ban her from using the company car privately and keeps a record to show their is no private use then she wouldn't have to pay tax on the company car.


    thats an idea but the saving in tax wouldn`t cover the cost she is paying for the contract car. but if this is the only way to go it is another option, thankyou
  • Have a realy good read through the company policies for this.
    Especialy around the car allowance an mileage and what happens if the mileage drops below 15k.

    If the car policy days you have a choice and does not mention mileage it might be one of those battles worth fighting.

    Another option is to change jobs(internally again).

    Also make sure they don't have clauses for excess personal mileage.

    Get firm to take over / buy out the personal lease?

    Can she introduce them as a 'third party' buyer? (rules may have changed, since I was in motor finance business!)
    breathe in, breathe out- You're alive! Everything else is a bonus, right? RIGHT??
