Considering electric? The Budget confirmed that for tax year 2020/21 the company car tax percentage for a fully electric, zero emitting vehicle is 0%, which means you will pay £0 Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax for that year.
In 2021/22 the percentage is only 1%, rising to 2% for 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25 – considerably lower than a typical petrol or diesel company car tax rate. Find out more.
