Electric Vehicles: Car Allowances

(asked on 7th July 2026) - View Source

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make it her policy to assess the fairness of calculating company car benefit-in-kind tax on used electric vehicles using the vehicle's original P11D list price rather than its current market value, in the context of significant depreciation in used electric vehicle values.

The Government considers P11D list prices the fairest and most practical way to calculate benefit-in-kind liabilities for company cars and has no plans to move away from this approach. However, the Government will keep the second-hand EV market under review and continue to monitor developments closely.
