P11D season is coming and it will be the hardest one yet
David Chandler and I have spent much of the last twenty years developing software to complete forms P11D, and we think this coming season may be the hardest yet. Consider company cars where the rules are now near comically complex. Was the car registered before or...
SMMT 2020 statistics
2020 was a disastrous year for many, and in particular the UK motor industry. The SMMT have today issued their registration stats for the year which show an overall decline of 29.4% compared to 2019 (2.31m versus 1.63m in 2020) We summarise the key data in the table...
A walk in the park
Went for a long and enjoyable walk on Christmas Eve around the Deer Park at Woburn, in the pouring rain. On the way back we walked through Woburn town. It’s a narrow road through the town, with cars parked along one side, a 20mph limit, and traffic can only go in one...
Scotland’s even stranger un-progressive personal tax bands
A couple of weeks ago we looked at the UK’s decidedly un-progressive payroll tax rates. I said “don’t get me started on Scotland”, but hey, as it’s Hogmanay… The graph below shows the combined employer and employee tax and NIC rates for Scottish residents. If you...
The UK’s strangely un-progressive personal tax bands
What’s the basic rate of tax in the UK? 20%, with the rate rising progressively for higher earners? Is there anybody left who's taken in by this? If you earn £20,000 pa in the UK the total in payroll taxes for each extra pound you receive is 32% plus 13.8% paid by the...
Toyota’s Solid State Batteries, coming to save us all
I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to suggest that the western world has bet its automotive future on a technology that does not really exist. It’s like a movie where the fate of the world rests on finding the answer to a riddle. Lithium Ion is an amazing...
435 mile range for VWs ID6 BEV
VW's ID6 will apparently travel up to 435 miles, courtesy of its 84kWh battery, when it launches in 2023. For me that's Manchester and back on a single charge, with range to spare. Game on! 200kW charging means you can add 143 miles of range in just 10 minutes from a...
Should you take the company car or the cash?
The bottom line is that it’s partially about tax rules, but it’s also about how generous the cash is. If someone offers you, say, £10k pa rather than a VW Golf then probably just take it. However, if the cash allowance has been set appropriately (i.e. cost neutral to...
Supply of EV’s is far outstripped by the demand for them
In the grand scheme of things it matters not a lot that we put a huge effort into our response to Boris’s consultation on banning ICE cars this summer; there was a paper and a webinar and a fair few articles. I’d be lying though if I said we weren’t a tad peeved that...
