About this lesson
The video shows you how to handle key complications: applying the diesel surcharge, restricting capital contributions to the £5,000 maximum, and adjusting for periods when the car is unavailable. You'll learn the step-by-step method for calculating the taxable benefit (list price minus restricted contribution, multiplied by the percentage, then time-apportioned), then see how to work out the CO2 percentage using the rounding rules that examiners expect. By the end, you'll understand how to assemble all the pieces and arrive at the correct figure to add to employment income — essential knowledge for TX and ATX papers.
