Understanding The Results
This page shows current mild hybrid company cars together with their standard P11D value, Benefit-in-Kind percentage and annual taxable benefit using information held in the DriveSmart company car database.
P11D Value
The P11D value is the taxable value used when calculating company car benefit.
It is generally based on the car's list price, including VAT and delivery charges, together with qualifying accessories, but excluding the first registration fee and annual Vehicle Excise Duty.
Factory-fitted options and accessories may increase the P11D value and therefore increase the taxable company car benefit.
Benefit-in-Kind Percentage
The Benefit-in-Kind percentage, often shortened to BIK percentage, is the appropriate percentage applied to the car's P11D value.
For mild hybrid company cars, the appropriate percentage depends on the vehicle's official CO2 emissions.
Company car Benefit-in-Kind percentages are set by tax year and may rise in later tax years.
Annual Taxable Benefit
The annual taxable benefit is normally calculated as:
P11D value × Benefit-in-Kind percentage
For example, a mild hybrid company car with a P11D value of £40,000 and a 10% appropriate percentage would create an annual taxable benefit of £4,000.
Company Car Tax Payable
The annual benefit shown in the table is not the amount of income tax payable.
The taxable benefit is added to the employee's taxable income. The tax payable therefore depends on the employee's income tax rate and individual tax position.
As a simplified illustration, an annual taxable benefit of £4,000 would produce income tax of £800 at 20%, £1,600 at 40% or £1,800 at 45%, before considering the employee's wider tax circumstances.

You can sort by manufacturer, model, derivative, P11D value, BIK percentage or annual benefit. Click the same heading again to reverse the sort order.
Important Notes
The table uses standard vehicle data. Factory options, accessories and changes to the vehicle specification may affect the final P11D value.
Capital contributions, private use contributions, periods when the vehicle is unavailable and changes during the tax year may affect the taxable benefit for an individual employee.
The figures should be checked against the vehicle supplied, the applicable tax year and the employee's actual circumstances.
DriveSmart provides factual comparison data and does not recommend mild hybrid company cars or rank cars as best or worst.
DriveSmart reviews this page when HMRC announces significant changes to company car taxation affecting mild hybrid cars.

Mild Hybrid Company Car Benefit And Tax FAQs
How is mild hybrid company car benefit calculated?
The annual taxable benefit is normally calculated by multiplying the mild hybrid car's P11D value by the applicable Benefit-in-Kind percentage for the tax year.
How is the mild hybrid company car Benefit-in-Kind percentage determined?
The appropriate percentage for a mild hybrid company car depends on its official CO2 emissions for the relevant tax year.
Is the annual taxable benefit the amount of tax paid?
No. The annual taxable benefit is added to the employee's taxable income. The income tax payable depends on the employee's tax position and applicable income tax rate.
Does the P11D value include factory-fitted options?
The taxable value normally reflects the car's appropriate list price and qualifying accessories. Factory-fitted options may therefore increase the final P11D value and taxable benefit.
