Company car tax: calculating your benefit-in-kind liability in 2010/11

The method of calculating your company car tax liability in 2010/11 depends on your car’s P11D price and CO2 emissions, and whether or not it is a diesel.

Emissions figures and environmental compliance status can be obtained from manufacturer information or the Vehicle Certification Agency at www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/search.

All diesel cars registered on or after January 1, 2006, are liable to a 3% charge on account of diesel’s higher emissions of ‘local’ pollutants.
