The Basics

What is company car leasing

Company car leasing allows a business to provide a vehicle for a director, employee or business owner through a fixed term lease agreement.

Rather than purchasing a vehicle outright, your company pays a fixed monthly rental for the agreed contract term, helping preserve cash flow while providing access to a new vehicle with predictable costs.

At the end of the agreement, the vehicle is simply returned, avoiding the hassle and financial risk of depreciation and resale. Please note that damage and excess mileage charges may apply if the agreed terms of the contract are exceeded.

Every company car agreement includes

  • All makes and models available
  • Electric, plug in hybrid and standard hybrid options
  • Fixed monthly costs for the full contract term
  • Nationwide delivery anywhere in the UK
  • A dedicated vehicle consultant as your single point of contact

The Advantages

Why businesses choose company car leasing

Company car leasing gives directors and professionals access to a new vehicle without the capital outlay or risk of ownership.

💼

Preserve Working Capital

Avoid large upfront vehicle purchases and keep valuable capital available for growing your business.

📅

Fixed Monthly Payments

Enjoy predictable motoring costs with no concerns about future vehicle values or resale.

🚗

Flexible Vehicle Choice

Choose from a wide range of cars including executive saloons, SUVs, electric vehicles and hybrids.

⚙️

Simplified Fleet Management

Whether you require one vehicle or several, leasing helps streamline vehicle management and budgeting.

Company Cars and Tax

Make your company car work harder

The right company car can provide significant financial advantages compared with personal vehicle ownership. Factors that may influence your overall costs include the following.

💷

Benefit in Kind Taxation

The rate depends heavily on vehicle emissions and fuel type. Fully electric vehicles currently attract a rate of just four percent for the 2026/27 tax year, far below petrol, diesel or most hybrid vehicles.

🌍

Vehicle Emissions

Lower emission vehicles generally attract lower Benefit in Kind rates and reduced Vehicle Excise Duty, making them a strong choice for company car drivers.

🏢

Corporation Tax

Monthly lease rentals may generally be treated as an allowable business expense, subject to current tax legislation and the vehicle's emissions.

🧾

VAT Treatment

VAT registered businesses may reclaim up to fifty percent of the VAT on qualifying leases with any private use, or up to one hundred percent where use is exclusively for business.

🗺️

Business Mileage

Your expected annual mileage affects both pricing and the most suitable vehicle type, particularly when comparing electric, hybrid and petrol or diesel options.

🔧

Running and Maintenance

Optional maintenance packages bundle servicing, tyres and routine maintenance into one fixed monthly payment, helping with budgeting.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances. Our consultants help you understand the options available, though professional tax advice from your accountant should always be obtained before entering an agreement.

Go Electric

The most tax efficient company cars available

Electric vehicles continue to be one of the most attractive company car options for directors and employees. With a Benefit in Kind rate of just four percent for the current 2026/27 tax year, an electric company car costs a fraction of the tax bill of an equivalent petrol or diesel model.

Beyond the tax position, electric company cars also offer reduced running costs, improved sustainability credentials for the business, and access to the latest vehicle technology.

Benefits of an electric company car

  • Lower Benefit in Kind taxation, currently four percent for 2026/27
  • Reduced fuel and running costs compared with petrol or diesel
  • Improved sustainability credentials for the business
  • Access to the latest EV technology and battery range
  • Potential further tax efficiencies for limited companies
