This year's Budget has built upon the announcements and environmental focus of last year's, as expected; with company car drivers continuing to be affected by reduced tax thresholds and the introduction of the 'showroom tax', both designed to encourage lower CO2 emissions.

The taxation of company cars continues to support the government objective of driving towards a low carbon economy. This has implications for car policy, fuel provision and choice of vehicle.

The Strategic Fleet Consultancy team can provide guidance on cost reduction and policy improvement initiatives designed to ensure that as the cost of motoring continues to rise, your provision of fleet is aligned to best practice and is fit for purpose.

We understand that having the latest information to hand is essential if you're looking to reduce fleet costs as well as keeping your drivers up-to-date. So we have also produced a downloadable Budget Guide containing invaluable highlights from the Budget. Both the Budget Guide and a Pocket Tax Guide can also be downloaded via the links on the right.
