Cars and Benefits in Kind

Mar 8, 2019 | Business, Tax

If you have personal use of a Limited company car you should declare the benefit in kind received to HMRC. This is calculated by the list price of the car x CO2 emissions % and then added to your taxable salary. If the car is a pool car – paid for and insured for all employees to use and remains at the company premises overnight then there is NO benefit in kind received and therefore no additional tax due.
