How this tool works
Compare the same car and annual costs. Enter business mileage, taxable private-use benefit, VAT adjustment and your effective marginal tax rate. The tool applies a cost model; it does not determine whether tax rules allow private or business asset treatment.
Common questions
Does this also calculate my taxable car benefit?
You enter the annual taxable benefit yourself. The separate company car tool covers the stated employee situation; check whether it fits your circumstances.
Is the cheaper option automatically allowed?
No. A cost comparison does not determine tax asset classification. Have the permitted choice and special circumstances assessed when needed.
Which details do you need?
