Free fuel benefit check

Employees will be taxed if their employer provides any free fuel. This could be as a result of using a company
fuelcard and not repaying the private usage element, or if the employer pays for travel between home and work.
As the full taxable benefit per the table below will be applied, employees should check that the offer of any
free private fuel is worthwhile. Complete the calculator form to find out !
It is not too late to reimburse your employer for any private mileage used in order to avoid this tax,
but you then need good records to substantiate the business element of fuel costs covered by the company.

The taxable amount is now based simply on £14,400 mutiplied by the same percentage derived from the
co2 figure and fuel type. Once you have identified the appropriate benefit, run it through the calculator
at the bottom of the page.
