(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order substitutes, with effect from 6th April 1995, new tables of flat rate cash equivalents for those set out in section 158(2) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. Directors and employees earning £8,500 or more a year are chargeable to income tax on an amount equal to the appropriate cash equivalent of the benefit of car fuel made available for private use by reason of their employment.

Table A applies where the car has an internal combustion engine with one or more reciprocating pistons and is not a diesel car, and Table AB where the car has an internal combustion engine with one or more reciprocating pistons and is a diesel car. Table B applies where the car does not have an internal combustion engine with one or more reciprocating pistons, and accordingly applies to rotary engined cars.
