When an employer provides a company car that can be used for private journeys, it is treated as a taxable benefit. The employee pays income tax on the Benefit in Kind value, and the employer pays Class 1A National Insurance.
| Vehicle Type | CO2 (g/km) | BIK % 2026/27 |
|---|---|---|
| Pure electric | 0 | 3% |
| PHEV (130+ mile range) | 1–50 | 6% |
| PHEV (70–129 miles) | 1–50 | 8% |
| PHEV (40–69 miles) | 1–50 | 12% |
| Petrol (efficient) | 75–99 | 22–26% |
| Petrol (average) | 100–130 | 27–33% |
| Diesel (average) | 100–130 | 31–37% |
| High emission | 150+ | 37% |
The 3% BIK rate on electric vehicles makes them the most tax-efficient company car choice by far. Combined with a salary sacrifice EV scheme, employees can access brand-new electric vehicles at dramatically reduced net cost.
Employers must submit P11D forms by 6 July after the end of the tax year, and pay Class 1A NI by 19 July (22 July if paying electronically). Failure to file on time incurs penalties of £100 per 50 employees per month.
