Nichola Ross Martin's Tax Consultancy

• A director/employee who is provided with a company car and also receives free fuel from his employer is taxed on the cash equivalent of the benefit each tax year.
• The fuel benefit is fixed each year, according to the table below.
• The fuel benefit charge is calculated by taking the appropriate percentage, as worked out for car benefit purposes and multiplying by the fixed figure.

Examples of how the benefit is calculated are found in our guide to Company cars.
