Car use for business isn’t as simple as just popping out to a client’s office or doing your boss a favour and transporting some bits in the boot. There are strict rules in place for personal car use for business and falling foul of them can be costly.
If you do a lot of driving for your work, you may be offered a company car or a cash […]
Making sure you have the right level of insurance cover is important, and it is easy to make assumptions which mean things are overlooked. One such assumption is that your van insurance that covers your business van or fleet also covers you for tools, equipment and stock that is in the vehicle.
Unfortunately, this is not the case, and if you do not have insurance in place to properly provide you with […]
We all like to have the latest equipment, especially in business. Being able to show you are at the cutting edge of technology can be very important – it encourages your employees and means you present well to clients. Not only that, but it gives you access to the advantages that top-end technology offers.
The potential financial outlay to keep at that cutting edge, however, can be staggering. Asset finance and equipment leasing […]

But are they right for you?
Changes to the rules affecting salary sacrifice car schemes and a seemingly endless tide of rises in Benefit-in-Kind taxes for company car drivers have prompted some industry experts to suggest that Employee Car Ownership (ECO) schemes may be about to make a resurgence.
While some pundits have suggested that the latest Government interventions have made a rise […]
At one time, people left education, got a job and worked their way up through that company until they reached the level they wanted. It wasn’t unusual for employees to spend their entire working lives with the same employer. This often with minimal, or maybe no specific employee benefits to speak of.
Believe it or not, that wasn’t so very long ago.
Now, it is extremely rare for an employee to stay with the same company […]
The Government is raising record revenues from the company car market by imposing higher taxes on drivers – at the same time as the number of drivers actually falls.
Provisional figures from HMRC for 2016/17, the latest year available, show that the amount the Treasury collected in company car tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) increased by more than 24% year-on-year – up by £360 million. Yet the number of employees with a company car […]
