Flow chart - company car tax calculation

Where an employer makes a car available to an employee or director for private use it counts as a taxable benefit in kind. After each tax year the employer must report the taxable amount of the car benefit to HMRC. The calculation must be made using the rules set down in legislation and in the order specified.
