Company Cars


Home > Info Centre > Tax Hub > Company Cars

The landscape has changed significantly around company cars over the years, and continues to do so.

At one stage it was an expectation that once you reached a certain career point, a good employer would give you a company car, but then things changed. It can now be extremely expensive from a tax position to have a company car, though the type of finance, the type of vehicle and the way it is used can make a difference.

This section of our Information Centre is obviously less populated than others. We hope though that you will find some articles of interest and that you get in touch if you have any questions, or want to check the implications of the latest changes. 

We’d definitely recommend that you check the latest announcements and regulations before making any decisions!
