COMPANY CARS
Car policies becoming more varied
Changes to the company car tax regime coupled with a desire to reduce the costs of running a fleet have resulted in more varied and flexible company car policies, according to new research by Incomes Data Services.
IDS found that there is now a wider range of fleet financing options available, many of which have been designed to free the capital tied up in a company-owned fleet and remove the administrative burden.
"A growing number of organisations are giving eligible employees the opportunity to take a cash alternative to a company car," says IDS. "However, the popularity of this facility varies greatly among employees, with some finding it tax-advantageous not to take the car, while others prefer the hassle-free driving associated with a company car."
