But with changing tax rules and growing interest in electric vehicles (EVs), many UK businesses are rethinking how they provide vehicle-related perks. Two of the most common approaches today are car allowances and payrolling company cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">We\u2019ll dive into what they are, how they work and how to decide what\u2019s the best option for your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#form\">Download the factsheet.\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a car allowance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">A car allowance is a fixed cash payment that an employer gives to an employee instead of providing a work vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Paid through payroll:<\/strong> The allowance is added to the employee\u2019s monthly salary and processed through the usual <a href=\"http:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/payroll-software\/\">payroll system<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>No work vehicle ownership:<\/strong> Unlike a work vehicle scheme, the employee uses the allowance to buy, lease or maintain their own vehicle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Flexibility for employees:<\/strong> Staff have the freedom to choose a vehicle that suits their needs and lifestyle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a car allowance work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Employers agree on a fixed monthly or annual allowance for eligible employees.

In the UK, a car allowance is treated as regular salary under PAYE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Income tax:<\/strong> The allowance is subject to the employee\u2019s usual tax band.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>National Insurance contributions (NICs):<\/strong> Both employer and employee pay NICs on the allowance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Reporting obligations:<\/strong> The allowance appears on the <a href=\"http:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/payslips-explained-tips-to-help-your-employees\/\">employee\u2019s payslip<\/a> and is automatically reported to HMRC via Real Time Information (RTI).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">This differs from work vehicle benefits, where the tax is calculated as a Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) based on the vehicle\u2019s value and emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a car allowance cover?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The allowance is designed to help employees cover all costs of running a vehicle for business purposes. Typical expenses include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Fuel:<\/strong> For both personal and business use, unless the business reimburses mileage separately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Wear and tear (depreciation):<\/strong> Vehicles lose value over time and the allowance should help offset this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Car maintenance:<\/strong> Routine servicing, MOTs, tyres and unexpected repairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Insurance and road tax:<\/strong> Employees are responsible for arranging and paying these themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#form\">Download the factsheet.&nbsp;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a reasonable car allowance amount?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The \u201cright\u201d figure varies by industry and role, but UK benchmarks often range from \u00a33,000 to \u00a38,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Entry-level or occasional drivers:<\/strong> \u00a33,000\u2013\u00a34,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Mid-level field staff:<\/strong> \u00a34,500\u2013\u00a36,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Senior roles or high-mileage drivers:<\/strong> \u00a36,000\u2013\u00a38,000+<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">When deciding on an amount, consider how it compares to the cost of running a work vehicle scheme. Many businesses find that a competitive allowance can save on fleet costs while still meeting employee needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is payrolling company cars?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Payrolling company cars is a process where the taxable benefit of a work vehicle is collected through payroll instead of being reported annually on a P11D form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Employer registers with HMRC:<\/strong> Businesses must sign up to payroll benefits before the start of the tax year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Tax collected via payroll:<\/strong> The BIK value of the work vehicle is calculated and added to employees\u2019 taxable income each pay period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Simplified compliance:<\/strong> There\u2019s no need to submit separate P11D forms for payrolled cars, making administration easier and more transparent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">HMRC encourages payrolling because it gives employees more immediate visibility of their tax deductions and reduces end-of-year adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tax treatment of payrolled cars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The tax on a payrolled company car is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/payrolling-benefits-in-kind\/\">Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) <\/a>rates, which take into account the vehicle\u2019s list price and CO\u2082 emissions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Petrol and diesel cars:<\/strong> Higher BIK rates due to higher emissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Hybrids:<\/strong> Lower rates than traditional petrol\/diesel vehicles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Electric vehicles (EVs):<\/strong> Ultra-low BIK rates \u2014 just 2% in 2025\/26 \u2014 making them highly tax-efficient for both employers and employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Employers also pay Class 1A NICs on the car\u2019s BIK value, but EV fleets often reduce this liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car allowance vs payrolled company cars, pros and cons for employers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table custom-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Aspect<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Car allowance<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Payrolled company car<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Administration<\/td><td>Simple.
