CMS and salary sacrifice

tobyjuggler

Hi does anybody know how this works in regards of maintenance payment changes? Basically I pay maintenance calculated by CMS on £42k NHS salary however I have ordered an NHS fleet car (just car not fuel) and its BIK  taxable.I only did this due to cost NOT trying to reduce payments to my little one. My salary sacrifice reduces my salary to £37k however the BIK is added.
The car is fully electric with a BIK of 0% this year then 1% in 21/22 then 2% from April 22 onwards and has a list price of £60k I only chose it as it was amongst the cheapest monthly.
Am I correct in thinking that my GROSS taxable pay for CMS calculations will now be based £37k this year then £37,600 for 21/22 and then £38,200 thereafter?
As I said I am not trying to reduce my payments I am just being careful to understand what my new GROSS taxable income will become so I go in with open eyes as to how much my payments will alter by.
Your help as always is greatly appreciated.

You can voluntarily top up any payment if you so choose

Hello Toby Juggler. Did you ever get an answer to your question in the end or did you find out yourself? I am now in exactly the same position. I have a car that is falling to pieces and costs me more to repair than it would cost me finance on a new one. My employer has a salary sacrifice scheme for electric cars that they are about to roll out to employees. I am wondering whether the 2% (of £60k) as BIK is added to my "taxable income" for CMS calculation purposes as well as a reduction in my gross salary of £5k via the salary sacrifice scheme. 

I would be very interested in an update to your position. Thanks!
