Table C
Benefits In Kind
Car Benefit Assessment 2005/06

Charge based on a percentage of the initial list price of the car; the percentage depends on the carbon dioxide emission ratings of the car, if it has one. For older cars without a rating, the percentage depends on engine capacity.

For 2005/06 the percentage for a petrol engine is 15% for ratings up to 140g/km. The percentage increases by 1% for every complete 5g/km in excess of this (ie at 145, 150 etc), to a maximum of 35%. Diesel cars have 3% added to this figure, but still have a maximum percentage of 35%.
 
Car Fuel Assessment

For 2005/06 the benefit will be calculated using the same percentage as that used for the car benefit, applied to a standard figure of £14,400.

The taxable amount will therefore be between £2,160 (15% - min.) and £5,040 (35% - max.).
