There was no specific mention of diesel, but he did say 'fuel'
charges would be incresed by 10%. Whether the chancellor knows
that diesel is a fuel is an interesting question - he doesn't

You do at the moment, if your care is over 19,250 you pay extra tax,

| by my calculations if you get hammered for 2600 of taxable benfit at

order to break even .
I'm calculating this by the equation
35/100 = 3,900/x where x is the MLP and 3,900 is your current taxable
benfit (2,600) + the third that is chopped if you do more than 2,500
miles.

was 2650. The 1992-3 figure went up to 2770, and this year is subject to
an 8% rise as of next tax year (1993 -94) which gives 2992 (calculated,
depends if they round out).
the reciprocal of 35% is 2.857 so if you roll up the 2992 * 2.857 then
say this is 2/3 of the car value then the end result will be 12,822.
This figure is across the board of diffent company car milages.

2043.36 | RIP-OFF!! | WELCLU::YOUNG | Policemen aren't nasty people | Fri Mar 19 1993 17:27 | 14 |

Surely we can only be taxed on the base car ie.1.6L Cavalier as
anything beyond that is financed entirely out of our own pocket and is
therefore not a company provided benefit. Or perhaps the money we chip
in should be deductable from the benifit.
I fail to see how they can tax us for someting we pay for out of our
own pocket!
If they only tax us on the base company provided car DEC could help us
out by changing to a different base vehicle but with a low capital cost
but the same lease cost due to high depreciation/running costs, this
would mean that the taxable benefit would be lower but the lease
contribution would be the same.

Imagine you have a salary of approx #20,000. To get the car you want
you must pay #1,000 per year to subsidise the lease costs. How, from a
tax point of view would that differ from someone who salary is #19,000
and doesn't have to contribute to get the same car ?
Now if you were already paying tax on the #1,000, that would be
different.

| Right now the MLP of a car in the UK allows for large discounting. The
new tax scheme for 93-94 will encourage manfacturers to make their MLP's
closer to the price you pay. So if you get a car now and keep it for 3
years you will carry a tax penalty for 2 years due to the inflated MLP.

| Doug,
will Digital UK be taking the tax changes into consideration, and possibly
changing the way that the car scheme works?
I would hope that the fact that "better cars" are paid for out of our
own pockets (admittedly sans-tax), would help us negotiate a deal with
the Inland Revenue whereby we are only charged on the benefit of a
"standard" car.
If not then the plain fact is that one of the "benefits" of working for
this company will be substantially reduced. Whether you are a qualified
car user or not, it always hurts when someone takes something away.

| This information is courtesy of Vauxhall.
"Transitional Rules from "Old" (pre April 94) to "New" (April 94 on)
System.
No transitional rules have been proposed. The current intention is
that the new system for Company Car taxation should be introduced for
ALL CARS PROVIDED TO EMPLOYEES BEFORE AND AFTER 6 APRIL 1994. The
existing system would therefore cease to operate, even in respect of
Company Cars made available to employees before 6 April 1994.
The calculation of the benefit under the new system is a straight 35%
of the list price of a car. There is a discount of one third if the
employee drives more than 2,500 business miles in a year, or two thirds
for 18,000 or more business miles. The net taxable benefit after the
adjustments above are taken into account, is further reduced by one
third for cars of four or more years old at the end of the tax year in
question.
The 'new' system will use the list price at the time the car is first
registered plus the price of "extras" provided with the car. Special
rules will be announced on how to arrive at a price for a car if no
list price is published.
The 'new' system will not refer to the engine size of a Company Car, in
determining the amount of tax payable on that car."
Employers Reporting
"Under the 'new' system, the provider of a Company Car will, on a
quarterly basis, have to notify the Inland Revenue of any new Company
Cars provided to employees. This should then enable the notice of
coding for each employee to be updated by the Inland Revenue within
each tax year. Employees will therefore pay tax on the Company Car
through the monthly payroll."
That's about it from Vauxhall, and it doesn't add much to what we
already knew.
There was some speculation in the Sunday papers, about people taking
very basic cars and adding extras at the first service. It seems that
the Revenue will keep a close eye on this potential loophole and plug
it, if they see fit.

Colin,
what the leasing companys pay for the vehicle is totally irrelevant
to the taxable benefit. Why should Digital's employees pay less tax on
a car when I ( an employee of my company ) would have to pay more tax on
the same car, just because my company doesn't have the same bargaining
power with the leasing companies as Digital does.
The relative bargaining powers of my company and Digital is
business. The benefit of having a company car is a personal tax issue and
the two have no effect on each other.

2043.64 | Pay nett or gross? That's the question | LARVAE::LEWIS_B | I said UNIX not EUNUCHS! | Tue Mar 30 1993 19:21 | 54 |
| Several notes in this string have referenced the fact that employees
(of Digital) who contribute to their car cost should not expect that
this should reduce the level of taxable benefit. They have
(incorrectly) assumed that were one to receive the amount of one's
contribution as salary one would be taxed on it at 25%. It seems to
have escaped a lot of people that there are three levels of taxation in
this country - 20%, 25% and 40%. It also seems to have escaped their
attention that a large proportion of the Digital drivers who do
contribute to their vehicle cost pay tax at the highest level and not
at 25%.
I should like to see some more cogent arguments as to WHY any positive
contribution (before or after tax) to the cost of the vehicle is not
deducted from the taxable benefit. I can see why under the present
rules it may be difficult to calculate the precise value of that
contribution (does one allow for the additional deduction of Nat
insurance - if applicable, and other post tax deductions in the
calculation or not?), but I suspect that the equation should be
somewhat simpler with the arrival in '94-95 of the % of MLP. At least
it would be simpler to prove to the tax man that a contribution is
being made if it appeared on any kind of documentation the tax man
receives! Currently of course because it is deducted from our base
salary before ANY deductions (not just tax) there is nothing one can do
in terms of "proof" of payment of any such contribution.
I agree with the person who made the comment about Digital having full
discussions with the TAX authorities on this matter as the present
scheme pre-dates even the charging of the company car scale charges and
is going to be a potential negative aspect of the Digital car scheme in
future.
One point that people should be cognisant of however is that it is
Digital and NOT the employee who holds the lease contract with the
lease company. Were Digital therefore to allow us to receive our full
salary (with no pre-tax deduction) we would still have to re-imburse
Digtal for the FULL value of the contribution and this has not been
taken into account either in any of the discussions so far! I should
also like to better understand the full implications of coming out of
the car scheme altogether and maybe Digital helping to arrange
preferential rate loans (usually non-taxable) as an alternative. As an
example of the penultimate point:-
Say a car costs an EXTRA contribution of 1000 and tax is paid on this
at 40% i.e you receive an extra 600 nett salary but you still have to
pay the full 1000 contribution you will be 400 worse off (dollars,
pounds, drachmas, whatever!). I seem to remember that NI has a ceiling
beyond which no more deductions are made, but I'm prepared to be
corrected on this. Anyone from Payroll a member of this conference?
The moral of course is ..... let's look at the whole picture, not just
part of it, before we all complain to the tax man too much!
Best regards, Bob Lewis (who's just having to repay the taxman for over
allowance on biz miles! Ouch!)

Digital already offers you the option to come out of the car scheme.
You get 3,000 quid, taxed at whatever your rate is.
You don't pay tax for a company car.
No preferential loans - and if they did, they would be taxed too!

How can you say this ? Salaries are supposed to be secret, have you
been doing a private survey, or peeking in cupboards you aren't
supposed to :-)
If this were widely known, there would be a serious drop in moral
in the support specialists of the Basingstoke Telephone Support Centre.
What's your source ?

| Trevor,
I may be wrong, but I think you meant "morale".
Ian.

| I think you may be right. Morals are pretty low as it is.

No one's specific salary has been mentioned
I have not been looking in cupboards
I have not been doing a secret survey
I do not have access to secret or private information
All the relevant information on which to base such a statement is
readily available including much information regarding taxable benefit
scale charges which have an impact on the level of TAX one pays and
generic salary scale levels and bands. You mean you don't have ANY idea
what your immediate colleagues are earning (ball-park)? If you don't, then
logic dictates that your implication is automatically invalid!
>> If this were widely known, there would be a serious drop in moral

If what were widely known? The fact that many people in Digital pay at
higher tax levels? Get a life! And I hope you're not suggesting that
people in the TSC are immoral! :-(
>> What's your source ?
Common sense, logic and a little bit of information. Oh! and an ability
to do simple maths! :-)
