Company 320d: £2660 pa tax.
Cost of not taking car allowance: £6600 before tax, £3800 after tax.
NET COST OF COMPANY CAR: £6460. Thats how much it costs you to have a company car. You are paying £538 a month. This is where you go wrong - you fail to account for the lost car allowance as a cost.
You are shelling out 538 quid of your own money for:
a) a tool for your employer
b) A car which, privately, you barely use if you only spend 60 quid on private fuel.
And you think thats a stonking deal?
