LESS TAX ON ELECTRIC / HYBRID COMPANY CAR / VAN FLEETS
COMPANY CAR TAXES
On private fleets (that make up half of all new vehicle purchases) put waiver on the excise duty surcharge for electric and hybrid electric company cars and vans.
1 per cent company car tax for fully electric company cars (back to Benefit in Kind (BiK) rate for 2021-2022 tax year).
BENEFIT IN KIND TAXES FOR DRIVERS
As basic income tax falls to 10p in the Pound from 20p in the Pound, less BiK to pay by employee using company car.
Lower BiK to 5 per cent for plug-in hybrid company cars that can cover between 30 and 39 miles on electric power alone; from current rate of drivers paying BiK at 10 per cent (2022-2023 rates).
Lower to 3 per cent for those that can go even further (40-49 miles), as driver now pays 6 per cent BiK (2022).
Either way, it’s far less than the 20 per cent-or-more rates that apply to petrol and diesel cars.
For company fleets that transition entirely to Electric Vehicles by 2025, government pledge to install charging stations in their workplaces and depots.
