in Cutting tax
My son has a company car, as he is a service engineer. He has just noticed that his tax code has dropped for the next tax year due to the increase in his BIK. Should the BIK remain the same on a company car once it has been assigned.

If this current year wasn't a full tax year of availability. Then yes, proportionately there'll be a higher BIK to account for.2

The charge is increasing pretty much across the board by 1% of list price next tax year0

Yes, it will drop his tax code - i.e. make it worse - because the government increase the taxation on company cars with an escalator every year.0

...to make it worse, even if a reassigned car that was valued at say £30k brand new is assigned to you when it is four years old, i.e. you are driving a car that is now worth only £12k, say, you still pay company car tax on its original £30k value. This oft causes outrage at people who first get assigned a company car that was used by someone else first, i.e. new employees.0

My company asked us to pick a company car based on a 3yr 90k miles. Looked into the BIK and increased from 6-7-8% which i was happy with. Car now ordered on a 4 year lease and ive been lumbered with the additional 10% hike in year 4.0
