The Snows guide to BIK Tax

For business users and their vehicles​

​

What is BIK?

Benefits in Kind (BIK) is tax that is applied to business drivers who receive benefits or perks in addition to their salary. For those who drive a company car for private use, they will have to pay BIK. 

Every car has a BIK banding, which is based on the cars CO2 emissions and P11D value, which is the list price, including extras and VAT, but without the first year registration fee and vehicle tax. In simpler terms, the lower the CO2 emissions, the lower the BIK banding. This is one of the reasons why Toyota hybrids make great company cars!

The monetary benefit is valued and taxed by the government. The taxable annual figure is then divided into monthly payments and deducted from your wages by your employer.​

Why are Toyota vehicles a good choice for business users?

The factors used to calculate BIK taxation are largely benefited by Toyota's approach to improving the cleanliness, fuel efficiency, quality and longevity of their vehicles. You'll be able to experience peace of mind and lower costs thanks to the innovation and engineering of Toyota models.
