Car Tax And Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles | How much will you be paying in 2020/21? |
 POSTED BY ROGER EDDOWES ON 28/01/2019 @ 8:00AM
In tax year 2020/21, a number of changes will happen to company car tax benefit-in-kind. First proposed in 2016 and confirmed in 2017, these changes affect ultra-low emission vehicles with CO2 emissions below 75g/km ...
My own car has just ticked past 100,000 miles and now I'm looking at ultra-low emission vehicles to replace it!
Prior to 2020, the benefit-in-kind for company cars does increase for sub-75g/km ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs) and even the rate for zero-emission cars (electric) will rise to 16% by 2019/20.
"However, in 2020, all-electric vehicles drop to 2%!"
Following on from that, when the new ULEV rates apply, the most tax-efficient cars will be those that have a CO2 emission level below 50g/km with better incentives for those cars that can travel the furthest on electric power only.
Many business owners, like myself, grimace about paying company car tax and whereas bigger, flashier cars were the norm a few years back, we're all realising we can save a lot of tax the lower the emissions a new car has.
I visit clients all the time so a company vehicle is, and always will be, important to me. As you can see from the leader image for this blog post, I've just clocked over 100,000 and have had great value for money from my car. I am looking at ultra-low emission vehicles as my next one and have been considering test driving a couple of all-electric ones.
