Benefit in kind - Company cars - New scale (as from 1 January 2007)

Context

As you know, the private use of a company car by an employee results in a taxable benefit for the individual.

A practice note fixes the total number of private kilometres taken into account to determine the benefit in kind for the private use of a company car to 5.000 km or 7.500 km, depending on whether the distance between the home and the office is lower or higher than 25 km.

The taxable benefit in kind is then computed by multiplying this number of kilometres by a coefficient, which represents the amount of benefit per kilometre. This coefficient depends on the fiscal horsepower of the vehicle.

News

The new coefficients for computing the taxable benefit in kind for income year 2007 have been published Friday in the Official Gazette(*). Please find below the new scale classified by fiscal horsepower (FHP):
