Low-tax special
You don’t have to compromise on power when choosing a tax-efficient new car – and we pick some of the best buys...
High performance usually means high emissions, which is bad news for company car drivers. As Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax rates are based on a model’s CO2 and price, more power generally translates to increased costs for business users.
Some cars provide more ‘bang for your BIK’ than others, though, and here we name our picks for go-getting company users in search of power and efficiency. We highlight big-hitting choices in four tax brackets, plus a couple of alternatives, and reveal the monthly BIK cost for owners earning at the lower and higher rates of tax. Private buyers can also benefit, as none of our choices has an annual road tax bill of more than £130.
As you can see, your options aren’t limited to boring saloons; our selection ranges from a sleek five-door executive model to a full-size SUV. Read on to find out how to maximise the performance of your next company car...
