The Order contains provisions for the following:
Provisions in Finance Act 2015, s. 10 phase out the nil van benefit charge for zero emission vans which was available for the tax years 2010-11 to 2014-15 inclusive. This is being phased out between 6 April 2015 and 5 April 2020 and means that employees using zero emission vans for more than insignificant private use will now be liable for the charge on a tapered basis until the full charge applies from 2020-21 onwards.
The cash equivalent of the benefit of a van for a tax year is calculated as follows:
(a) if the van cannot in any circumstances emit CO2by being driven and the tax year is any of the tax years 2015-16 to 2019-20, the cash equivalent is the 'appropriate percentage' of £3,150 (rising to £3,170 in 2016-17), and
(b) in any other case, the cash equivalent is £3,150 (2015-16 rate; rising to £3,170 in 2016-17).
The 'appropriate percentage' is:
20% for 2015-16;
40% for 2016-17;
60% for 2017-18;
80% for 2018-19; and
90% for 2019-20.
