    I am an old git red flagged. Twenty years ago is nothing to me.

    To help those suffering the burden of having a company car but it is necessary for the job I would suggest the company leases cars/vans etc but they have to be left at work when the shift ends and used again at the beginning of the following day.

    Me and you both SB !!

    It's not practical to leave the car at the office, my office is in Northampton but I live near Selby ! My cars full of PPE, paperwork, folders, surveying equipment etc. Firemans car is full of uniform and equipment. Still taxed on the same footing as the perk you think it is - but its not.

    Sounds like you should have a company van with your company's name on it
    Would that do?
    As a matter of interest what car do you have ?

    No, I routinely have to ferry colleagues and/or clients so running around in the works van wouldn't do.
    I have a company passat estate, not a bad car but not something I'm particularly inspired by. It's just a tool of the trade like any other. Can't see why I should be taxed to the hilt for it when you see some of what our taxes are spent on.

    Who pays for servicing new tyres repairs etc on your uninspiring Passat

    Love it Exile, unfortunately my choices are limited and I don't make the rules.

    A van would cost more to tax , insure and run than a car
