How do I calculate my BIK tax?

To calculate your BIK tax, you will need to multiply your vehicle’s BiK band percentage by its P11d value. These tax rates are based upon how much carbon dioxide (CO2) your car emits per gram every kilometre (g/KM) and are therefore different for each vehicle.

BiK tax rate x P11d value = BiK Value

The final BiK tax is then adjusted to suit your annual salary, but only slightly. To do this, multiply your figure by your tax rate at 20, 40 or 45%.

BiK Value x Tax Banding = BiK Tax

What is Company Car or Benefit in Kind Tax?

Whenever a vehicle is provided by the company to an employee, that is available for personal use, the employee must pay tax on the effective benefit that they receive from this.

To work out how much benefit they receive, the Treasury calculates this based on the car’s ‘P11d value’ compared to t receiving the same or similar amount in pre-income tax pay.

How is the P11d value calculated?  

The P11d value of a car is made up from;

  • Vehicle list price
  • Any optional or non-standard extras
  • Delivery fees
  • Value Added Tax (VAT) at 20%

Can Company Car or Benefit in Kind Tax rates vary?

The BiK bandings for each vehicle changes every tax year and is often set to reward more ‘efficient’ models. This rule is in place to encourage both employers and company car drivers to choose ULEZ vehicles with lower emissions over conventional options.
