Use

Car benefit is a tax on an employee for the benefit of having a car available for private use and is also used to assess liability for Class 1A NICs. It does so by treating the employee as though their earnings for tax were higher by a notional sum (the `cash equivalent' of the benefit).

In this screen, you can modify the details of your company car. Please note, any modifications made to the car details might in turn affect the benefit cash equivalent of the car, if this car is already assigned to any employee in the current tax year.
