If you know of a way to get round it I would love to hear it, I just can't see any way that it works out cheaper for the individual, not saying it isn't less hassle or easier, but without wangling the books and sticking a deal with the employer elsewhere I just can't see it, but maybe I have missed something?
But anyway, that wasn't really the point, the point was I don't see how the government can justify taxing an individual more money than the car actually costs a month to buy and run.
I also think that we will start to see hundreds of Mercedes C class diesels run as company cars now they have got the tax bands done on the C220cdi etc. as low as BMWs, before it was a no brainer, £25 a week for a BMW 320d auto or £60 a week for a Mercedes C220cdi auto, you had to really want the Merc.
But now the Merc is just as cheap I think we will see loads more being ordered, especially when you can lease one cheaper than a Passat.
