* The percentage of list price is reduced by a further 1% for each full 20g/km CO2 the emissions figure is less than 155. Electric cars registered after 1997 taxed on 9% of list price.


Fuel Benefit

From 6 April 2003 the fuel scale charges, which applied when free fuel was provided for private use in a company car, are swept away. The new tax charge for private use of fuel takes the percentage derived from the tables above, applied to a set value of £14,400 rather than the vehicle's list price.

Example: In 2003/04 a driver provided with free petrol for his company car that has a CO2 emissions figure of 163 gr/km will be taxed on a cash equivalent value of £2,304 (16% * £14,400) for that fuel.
