Vehicle Benefits Car Benefit The benefit of using a company car is based on a percentage of the cars list price graduated according to the level of the car's CO2 emissions.

For example, in 2008/09 a petrol car costing £22,000 with a CO2 emission of 190g will be taxed as £22,000 x 26% resulting in a benefit in kind of £5,720. Diesel cars attract a 3% supplement (but not to take the relevant percentage over 35%). There are special rules for alternative fuel cars and for automatics driven by some disabled drivers.
