Van Benefits - Edit

Use

Van benefit is a tax on an employee for the benefit of having a van available for private use. It treats the employee as though their earnings for tax were higher by a notional sum (the "cash equivalent" of the benefit). If you have assigned the van to be used as a shared van to the employee you selected, then enter its details here. The final cash equivalent that is derived will be shared equally among the number of beneficiaries who enjoy the benefit of the selected van.
