      Neither. It's the brand new list price of the car plus any optional extras.

    Is the tax you pay only on that one income stream. For example the job which provides the Company Car I earn 38000. Let's say the BKI is 10000. Total 48000. So in theory 20% tax. I also have a military pension which is 11000. Would this contribute. I put all my personal allowance on the Company Car wage.

If you're on a car allowance you probably will be getting much less than the normal 45p per mile for business trips so make sure you're happy with what they would pay. Great that you can do what you want with the money though.

      Hi, soirry, I don't quite understand the question? is this a benefit in kind? if it's 2% BIK for free charging and you're not just going to charge at home 90% of the time it's probably a great deal - if that was your question. Sorry, it's Friday and my brain is slowing up :)

      If you’re getting one yourself a lot depends on your mileage but PCP, in my opinion, is always the worst way of buying a car. Either lease it on a lease deal or get a bank loan. Traditional car finance often sucks. I’ve done a few videos comparing all the different deals so have a deep dive through my videos.

      Hi David, I assume you have a LTD company but not sure about your VAT situation. Best advice to you is that you need to speak to your accountant before taking on a company car - simple as that really. Depending on your tax situation there are "right ways" and "wrong ways" of doing things so speak to your accountant to find out the best way for you. They get asked this almost every day so should have all the answers to hand and will understand your circumstances.

    Sorry, probably a silly question - are there 2 tax increases from having a company car - income tax and the additional car tax based upon the P11D value? Or is the BIK value only added to the income figures for the purpose of calculating the tax band (20%/40%)?

    • @DefinitelyNotAGuru
      @DefinitelyNotAGuru  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The BIK value is added to your income which then may push you into the 40%, I.e 45k salary + 10k bik puts you into 40%. Once you’re at 40% even by £1 you pay 40% tax on the car.

    Please can you help me. My company car scheme states 0.5%+BIK. The '0.5%' states the contribution I must pay and decreases by 0.1% each year you stay at the company. For example, first year you pay 0.5%, second year 0.4% and so on and so forth. This is the contribution I must pay, including BIK. I'm not sure what this means. Does anyone have the same structure or could shed some light, please? Thank you

    • @DefinitelyNotAGuru

      I’ve never seen that before but seems fair enough. That should be plus BIK though as BIK rules may change and it’s taken as part of PAYE.

      Yes, two ways to look at it I guess but basically you lose £7500 of your £12500 allowance, this means you pay tax earler and, in theory, move up the company income tax bands earlier.
