Company Car Tax (Benefit in Kind) Explained

When an employer provides a company car that can be used for private journeys, it is treated as a taxable benefit. The employee pays income tax on the Benefit in Kind value, and the employer pays Class 1A National Insurance.

Electric Company Cars: The Tax Advantage

The 3% BIK rate on electric vehicles makes them the most tax-efficient company car choice by far. Combined with a salary sacrifice EV scheme, employees can access brand-new electric vehicles at dramatically reduced net cost.

P11D Filing and Class 1A NI Deadlines

Employers must submit P11D forms by 6 July after the end of the tax year, and pay Class 1A NI by 19 July (22 July if paying electronically). Failure to file on time incurs penalties of £100 per 50 employees per month.
