The future tax status of thousands of vehicles hangs in the balance after drinks giant Coca-Cola said it was hoping to lodge an appeal with the Supreme Court.
The Court of Appeal ruled in favour of HMRC last year, deciding that the use of three vehicles – two Volkswagen
Kombis and a Vauxhall Vivaro – should be treated as cars, rather than vans, for tax purposes.
The ruling increased the amount of tax due from both the employer – Coca-Cola European Partners Great Britain (CCEP) – and the employees.
If unchallenged, the Court of Appeal’s decision could set a legal precedent impacting the amount of national insurance contributions (NICs) paid by scores of fleets and the level of benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax incurred by their drivers.
