Where is comes on the government G/km CO2 table, will massively affect how much tax you will pay - [here]
- notice how they all ramp upwards
In low tax order its roughly
phev , hybrid, diesel, petrol
This site will give you a very quick ( or more detailed if you prefer) idea of how much tax you will pay - [here]
Thanks for that, I don't quite understand it at a glance but will have a proper look and try to figure it out in the next few days!0 -
Is there any possibility of never, not ever, using the company car for yourself, including commuting, as then you wouldn't have to pay company car tax.
This would mean leaving it at work and driving your own car. Not sure what driving straight to a client from your house would count as though..
I couldn't bear the thought of paying a load of tax for someone else's car that I only have to do them a favour!
Unfortunately not, I won't have a physical workplace that I go to each day though, so the first and last 30 minutes of driving will be considered my 'commute'. I would imagine it gets complicated with running errands or stopping to see friends etc. on the way to/from work.0
