Does this only apply to new cars? Had a look at the list, and the 320d BMW looks pretty good! How the hell have they got that comming in at 109 g/km?

I'm tempted to get one of them!

German engineering that's how!

They are quality, if a bit dull and functional. It's as fast as you need but don't get the M-Sport, kit looks great but ride is ruined...

plus they burn less fuel which is about 80% tax so win-win!

Are you trying to hurt the tax man you evil barsteward? 100% tax deductible, low BIK and pay less fuel duty and road tax too?

Is it DimPrawns? KN0B1?

its a four seater not a moped

iI've got just the motor for you. One titled owner and very low mileage

BIK on low CO2 cars like this is feck all, so you can chose, pay the tax man your corp tax bill or buy yourself a car with the money instead.

Do you still battered on the BIK? Suppose you could drop your salary down to a piddling amount so that you pay a high percentage of feck all!

Tax advice of the week: Get a company car - MoneyWeek

However, as these rates are falling from 2012, you'd be better off going for a car with very low emissions – of just 110g/km. At this level and below, your company can claim 100% of the cost of the car against tax in the year of purchase.

Nor do you have to "tool around" in a Smart car to get the tax break. There are now more than 200 cars on the market, including Audi A3s and BMW 320ds, which fall into the sub-111g/km bracket (see Businesscar.co.uk). So choosing the right low-emissions car could "save your company thousands".


320d is a great car too.

I want a new car, so looking at the leasing route amongst all the others, both personally and through the business.

I thought you'd recently bought a 520d.
