OVERHEARD: Fast-Car Slowdown
Fast-car-loving
U.K. executives—and football stars—are in for a financial blow. Drivers
of company cars currently pay annual income tax on their cars, but the
tax is capped when the underlying car's value exceeds £80,000
($128,700), meaning owners face a maximum tax bill of £14,000. That cap
will disappear after April 6, due to a decision made by the previous
Labour government in 2009, which the current administration hasn't
reversed. Accounting firm Baker Tilly says that means, for example, that
the owner of a Ferrari 612 worth £222,000 could be liable for income
tax of £39,000 next year. The extra tax is most likely to hit bosses of
small owner-run businesses who have used the tax break to buy themselves
a Mercedes or the like. But soccer players who drive sponsored cars
could be hit as well—worse than a red card, for many.
