Employee Issues

Changes to Company Car Tax from 6 April 2011 (ie 2011/12)

  • The £80,000 list price ceiling will be removed

  • The lower CO2 emissions threshold will reduce by 5g/km to 125g/km

  • The reductions given to electric/petrol hybrid cars and cars propelled by bi-fuels, road fuel gas and bioethanol will be abolished.

Living Accommodation provided by reason of employment – payment of lease premiums
