Van benefit charge and fuel benefit charges for cars & vans 2025-26
Date
Effective 6 April 2025
Summary
When employees can use company vehicles privately, it counts as a Benefit in Kind (BiK) and must be taxed accordingly.
For vans, this is a fixed annual charge. For company cars, the charge is based on CO2 emissions and fuel usage. If fuel is provided for personal journeys, an additional charge applies.
These charges must be reported on P11D forms each year.
