(GBR) Tracking Company Cars and Vehicle Incidents

To track company cars and vehicle incidents, use the Calculate P11D Information (CALC_P11D_SEC_A) and Verify P11D Information (VIEW_P11D_SEC_A) components.

This section provides an overview of tracking functionality and discusses how to:

Calculate P11D Information benefit amounts.
Verify P11D Information calculation results online.

Understanding Tracking Functionality

To use PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Monitor Health and Safety to track vehicle incidents related to company cars, you must define each car as an item of company property. Do this on the Company Property Table Setup page. Once you define a car as company property, use the Incident Data and Vehicle/Equipment Detail pages to record details of any incidents involving the employee and the car, or use the Monitor Health and Safety menus.

You can allocate a company car, without transfer of property, to a director or worker earning more than the statutory threshold. This car is then also available to the worker or director for private use.

There are various tax implications when you allocate a company car to a worker. Companies pay tax in the form of Class 1A National Insurance Contributions (NICs). Workers pay income tax based on their tax codes, which is adjusted to take into account the taxable benefit of the car. In both cases, the taxable benefit is based on the list price, business mileage, age, and periods of unavailability of the car. To find out more about legal requirements, contact the Inland Revenue.

This section describes how to determine the car and fuel benefit amounts for the given tax year to meet P11D Information requirements for U.K. companies. The system collates details for each worker from the various Company Car pages.
