Company Car with decals

Faceman · 10 Jul 2016 at 21:53

Just trying to find out if having decals (company branding) has an impact on the tax i pay for the car.
Some people have told me if its branded up its treated like a van ie low or no tax, but i can not find anything on the gov.uk site

abit of background... had cars from same company now for 9 years, started out with no branding, then some small text, then logos and this time, well i think i have more stickers than most taxis... its something that i'm not happy with but nothing i can do, but if i pay less tax it makes it a touch better...

so if anybody knows or can point me to any advise it would be gratefully received

Decals have no impact on tax.

If it's available for personal use its a company car any pay company tax at the normal rate.

I'd refuse to have a car privately with decals as a company car, can you opt out?

What car is it?

Can you take an allowance instead?

That's quite a cheeky way of advertising actually.

Just take them off

It's probably just vinyl so use a heatgun and they will fall off.

My dad just cut out white magnetic stips just slightly larger than the lettering.
Takes them off when he goes to the office, puts them back on at all other times (he goes to the office at most once every 2 months).

Because I'm sure that will go down great with his employer :/
