Caveat for employer savings calculations
Employers have to pay Class 1A National Insurance Contributions (NIC) on company cars and fuel at 13.8%
National Insurance contributions of 13.8% on the annual taxable benefit (P11D value x HMRC set company car tax %) - This assumes that the National Insurance contribution of 13.8% remains constant from 2023 - 2026

£38,433 - £29,663 = £8,770
employee savings calculations
The above employee scenario is based on an employee earning >£50,000 per year (so BIK is calculated at the higher rate of tax). For an employee earning less than £50,000 per year, on a basic rate of tax of 20%, the savings over 3 years would be £7,227
