The percentage is already set in law to rise each year. Assumes the car is available for four full tax years, with the same list price and personal tax rate and no employee contributions. Part-year availability can reduce the benefit; a future Budget can change later years.
Tax reduction is not a discount on the car. The company still funds the purchase and later disposal can create a balancing charge.
