Tax Benefits

There are many tax benefits and savings to be made when converting to use LPG.
Since April 2002 car tax for new cars has been based on CO₂ emissions (in g/km).

Company Car Tax

Company car tax is
based as a % of the P11D value
of a car dictated by its emissions
of CO₂ in g/km.

BIK FOR OLDER CARS
Engine Size (cc)	No CO₂figure	Older Vehicle
0 - 1,400	15%	15%
1,400 - 2,000	25%	25%
2,000 - plus	35%	32%

BIK FROM APRIL 2002
% of P11D to be taxed	CO₂ (g/km) 2002/3	CO₂(g/km) 2003/4	CO₂(g/km) 2004/5
15*	165	155	145
16*	170	160	150
17*	175	165	155
33	255	245	235
34	260	250	240
35	265	255	245
NB: Exact CO₂ figure should be rounded down to the nearest 5g/km

Due to other harmful emissions Diesel vehicles incur a 3% surcharge.

For a car converted to LPG there is a flat rate discount of 1% due to the environmental benefits of LPG and a further 1% reduction for every 20g/km of CO₂ achieved below the base level.

The cost of conversion is not added on to the cost of the car for tax purposes.

Business Mileage Rates

The tax free reimbursement for business journeys made by employees using their own cars will be changing in 2002. With the new rates the drivers whose vehicles are converted to Autogas will benefit the most as they pay out the least per mile.

April 6, 2001 to April 5, 2002
Engine Size	First 4,000 miles	Additional miles
<1,500CC	40p per mile	25p per mile
1,501 - 2,000 CC	45p per mile	25p per mile
2,001 + CC	63p per mile	36p per mile
From April 6, 2002
	First 10,000 miles	Additional miles
All Cars	40p per mile	25p per mile

Vehicle Excise Duty
VED (Car Tax disc) is directly related to the emission levels of your vehicle,
so that the less your car pollutes,
the less you pay.

Annual VED payable on new passenger cars registered from 1st March 2001

Table from: DVLA leaflet INS138
