Company vans

Van benefit

If you can put up with it a van is very tax efficient.

Currently the taxable benefit is £500 per year or £350 for older vans. From 5 April 2005 the van benefit reduced to zero if the van was used mainly for business travel and other use, other than to and from work and home is insignificant. If you claim the taxable benefit is zero you will have to be able to prove it!

Van benefit in kind is revised from 6 April 2007. There will be a nil rate band where the employee has to take the van home but no other personal use is allowed. Otherwise there will be a flat rate £3,000 per year benefit charge plus £500 for private fuel.

Bicycles
If you use a bicycle for business travel you can claim up to 20p per mile tax free.

Wow!
Own car
If you use your own car for business travel you can claim 40p per mile for the 1st 10,000 miles and 25p per mile thererafter. The 40p rate starts again each 6 April.

Naturally MP's can claim a higher rate, than the peasants, tax free.
Motorbikes
You can use a motorbike for business travel as well. You can claim 24p per mile. I do.
