What Does Our Car Benefit and Tax Search Do?

Company Car Benefit and Tax is calculated through a complex set of rules based on the price of the car.

CO2 Output, P11D value and Taxable Percentage all affect the Company Car Benefit and Tax for a vehicle - you can read more about this by clicking here.

Our Company Car Benefit and Tax search will find cars that match your requirements for P11D value, taxable percentage of list price, annual or monthly taxable benefit and annual or monthly tax due.

You can also add specific requirements into your company car search such as body type, engine, fuel and manufacturer/model range, plus minimun standard equipment, fuel economy for ICE cars and battery range or recharge times for hybrid or electric cars.

How to Start Your Search

To get started with your search click on the 'Taxation' button and choose the type of search you want. You can select from:

• Company Car Benefit
• Company Car Tax
• CO2 Output
• P11D Value
• Taxable Percentage of P11D value

When you select a type of search you'l be asked to provide minimum and maximum values for the search.

For example, if you choose 'CO2 Output' then you will be asked for a minimum and maximum vehicle CO2 Output, e.g. Minimum 100 Grammes Per Kilometre ('GP/Km') and Maximum 110 GP/Km.

The wider the gap between the minimum and maximum value the more cars will be displayed in the results, so consider carefully the min/max gap as you may get either too few or too many cars matching your min/max values.

We recommend that you also choose a vehicle body style and possibly also the fuel type and gearbox. If you get more than 10-20 cars in your results, start to add features such as standard equipment or Eco/Performance requirements to reduce the number of matching cars.

To begin your search click on the 'Taxation' button:

Other Search Options

Once you've selected the tax criteria for your search you can add requirements such as 'Body/Make', 'Eco' or 'Performance'.

If you just want the Company Car Benefit or Tax for a specific car use our company car tax calculator, or if you need more information on how company car benefit or tax is calculated use our company car tax library.

As you make your search selections the options will narrow down based on what you've chosen.

You can pick from:

• Body/Make: Including body style (saloon, estate, convertible, etc), plus fuel type, gearbox, seats, manufacturer and model range.
• Features: You can choose the standard equipment and features your car must have (e.g. air conditioning, satellite navigation, number of doors etc).
• Eco: For example, emissions, RDE2 status (diesels) and fuel consumption (MPG) and for electric vehicles the battery range and recharge time.
• Performance: Including engine power (BHP), top speed and acceleration.

At any stage of making your selections you can click on the 'Search' button to get your search underway.

However, remember that if you just make a few choices you may get so many cars matching your selections that the vehicle list is too long and isn't helpful.

We recommend that, in addition to any company car factors, you at least select the body style, fuel type, gearbox and seats to narrow down results to a manageable number.

Once the search results appear you can change/refine your settings, particularly if a lot of cars meet your initial search requirements.

You can view additional data about your search results by clicking on the display categories including:

• Body: For example, body style, number of doors, fuel type and gearbox.
• Economy: Including fuel consumption results from official tests.
• Emissions: Such as CO2, hydrocarbon and NOx output rates.
• Performance: Including top speed, 0-62mph time, engine power (BHP) and engine configuration.
• Battery: For electric or hybrid cars you can see the type of battery fitted, battery warranty, range and recharge times.

Search Results

When your search results appear you can also display additional information about each car.

For example, if you're looking for battery performance details on hybrid or electric cars, click on the 'Battery' button above the search results and you can display additional information such as:

• the type of battery
• the battery cable connector (there's more than one!)
• whether the battery is sold or leased to you with the vehicle
• the battery recharge time and recharge rate (percentage and kWatts)

Instant Search Updates

The most effective way of searching is to set all your criteria at once and then click on the 'Search' button, but you can also see the impact of changing individual search criteria.

To do this click on 'Search Options' and in the 'Update Options' section choose 'Instant Search Update'. This will update searches every time you change your selections.

Keep in mind though that turning on the instant update feature will usually increase the amount of time it takes to get to the end of your search. This is because as every change is made you re-run the search.

That's It!
