Co has decided that Scoobies are no longer allowed on the list

Have been offered a cash sum pa to have no company car

or replacement car upto £28k

What do you think the cash value should be ?


Just want to see what you guys think

 

£28K allowance - should be worth in the region of £550 pcm (pre tax) - your accounts dept will be able to tell you...

 

You should see our accounts dept :wow:



its me


I know what I have been offered and what I will accept

Just wanted views

 

They allow Porkers but not Scoobies !!!!!


Nate.

 

I opted out at £500 per month as the co wanted me to take the WRX with me if I ever left! that worked out ok, with the tax saving as well, netted back to £500 or so a month in your pocket at the time, It's cost me less to run my own scoob..

 

Are they trying to raise the profile of the company?

 

buy a Skyline then mate

 

Will they allow Evo's?

 

what ya gonna do phil ??? chairman of SIDC with a bmw etc

 

No Mate

I was going for an L200 pickup [saves shed loads of tax] and buy the current car

Seems the L200 is a bad idea as well

So I am going to take the cash and buy the car of the company

 

If your thinking of a pickup you really should try the new navara - 172BHP!! - awesome beast...

 

Have to agree ............ sold the Scoob and bought one

Completely different beast to own and drive and don't miss the Scoob one bit.

 

I take it the Boss's missus will still be allowed her Merc though?

 

yeah exactly

 

Range Rover Sport

looks like my Scooby will be mine Soon

Might even take it out at Brands

 

take the money and buy your own scooby

 

mines very tax friendly phil
so good in fact that you can spoil yourself with some extras

Pickups are the way to go, read about this tax dodge in the times last week.

dipster

 

Starting to tax heavier in 2007 though

 

I opted out in 2003 and started taking the money.

Could of been a bad move for me

 

that all depends on your circumstances

budgie

 

I won't ask

 

i had an L200 warrior with all the extras, sold it last week to get an scooby sti ppp, trucks are ok, v good for tax if you have a company, but trucks really arent for me in terms of being a drivers car

They are very practical for the B&Q trips mind

If i were you Phil id take the money and keep the scooby, i wouldnt have 2 cars, been there and it didnt work for me at all

I could be wrong, but i did hear that as of 2007 vehicles with more than 3 seats will NOT be classed a commercial vehicles, so twin-cabs will be classed as private cars.

 

its a very grey area
depends on the job you do
how long you have had a double cab
whether you take it home or not
if you cannot securely park at your office
and if you can answer correctly to all the above

budgie

Btw, didnt have to chose between the two
still got em both

 

i have a scoob as my company car best move i made, having a fuel card helps as well

 

Losing my fuel card is the only thing that worries me

 

And ME!!!!!!

Budgie, I'm surprised you've never gone for a convertable........cause I know how much you enjoy having nothing on top

 

thats another one noted in the book

budgie

 

Do they put any stipulations on the age of the car you buy with your opt out money?
