The 123d is so nice in the m sport guise, and !8% tax, i will go for the BMW

the figure you get for co2 and company car tax is easy to find its about 950 on the BMW, but the benefit in kind is totally different tax, i now get it,if the BIK is about 5k then you will pay tax on all your earnings so your not paying tax on your car but your paying £1000 more PAYE a year.
so the BMW will cos me approx 2k  year. so 6k in 3 years, Business insurance on it would be £700 a year, low friction spec tyres £1000, servicing free in deal on buying, depriciaton 3500 a year approx (about 40k a year) so about 9600 in 3 years. it would be close on allowence once id claimed fuel, It would require diesel to go up no more than 4p a ltr in the next 3 years. Also if something big goes wrong i simply hand the car back.

I did look at leasing but unless you lease it off your own company its difficult, esp as i am using this job as a spring board and will be off in 1 year. most lease deals that favour you are 3 years with big penalties.

looked at the golf GT 170ps this afternoon anyone have on of these? it just felt woolly to me, suppose to be diesel eqv of gti?

Wheres M3boy when you need him

ARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh that isnt an option, also i didn t ask if someone could tell me to take the car awllowence i asked if someone could help me with the BIK,
all anyone says is take the allowence take the allowence well i ve looked into it and its not worth it, remeber you have to insure for business use, so car insurance shoots up, the servicing twice a year wear and tear then the resale valvue of a hammered car, (in a market that is falling), it just doesnt pay me, (new laws state a min spec of car now aswell and will get stricter)

No i wouldn't and it isnt an option, the low friction tyres on the th BMW would cost me a grand a year, then the insurance, also servicing, 42p a mile on 1st 10k then 25p after that wouldnt really pay me if diesel continues to rise at its current rate. Also id rather have to take someone elses car onto building sites and down lanes, than mine

Looking at a new job i will be getting a company car, it will cost me about £100 month in tax on emissions, but i can work out what the benefit in kind wioll cost me (£its approx £6500),

DO I take it this just comes off my no taxable allowence and i just deduct this, so i will be paying tax on all my earnings?

OR

DO I add this to my salary and pay tax on that - my none taxable income still being deduced

Basically i can calculate the tax i pay on the car according to CO2, but not what the BIK will cost me can anyone explain how to calculate it easily, the online calcs dont give me a result.
I need to know what this car will cost me per month total.

BTW audi TT diesel A3 sportline(bit boring), or my currnent fave BMW 123d Msport
 

DON T USE PLAY i ordered GTA4 2 months ago now they email me saying 8th may, so i've ordered the SE from Zavvi.com, will get it a day early aswell

Flushie for mod btw

Read his book trick of the mind he tells you how a lot of stuff works. Still great to see live

Now My baby boy has been born, as promised I am back playing poker

opp Btw we named him Sonny and he was 8lbs 14oz born by emergancy C section after 14 hours of labour and even then he got stuck!

Its good to play again after about 4 months off, makes you love the game again.

Sry silo unless you want to live in my back garden then i can't help you, and besides its all gone now, oh the joys of the gov' being behind new homes target, planning permission................ no problem.

I've been playing alot of home cash games, and have barley touched online in the last 3 months.
I still love the game but i have so little time at the moment.
Selling land.
Designing at work , and at home.
Baby due in March and a house that needs to be baby proof, ( and a scalextric that will need buying obviously)
Road Running 10K races when ever i get chance, (that involves lots of training)
Furthuring my education in the new year
Picking up with old friends who i have not heard from in ages.

So for the moment i am retiring from poker, but will be back sometime next year, after reading alot, i'll be glancing at the hand analysis here most weeks.
I'll see you all next year, maybe in the summer.

Thankyou to alll here but Esp M3boy, Flushie, Dave Gee, Pab, Junglecat, bhoywonder and any others from the mmm Vs 1808 days, I've had a laugh at some great tables and seen so wild and wonderful play, much as we bashed trebbecca  it was like the old dog you just couldnt bring yourself to shoot.

GL all and Best of Healthy to you and yours.
