Company van replaced with a company car whilst being repaired - taxation implications

We have field based employees in company vans, some use for private use and others do not. Some of the vans have broken down and are awaiting repairs, however unfortunately there is a long delay in just getting the cars looked at in the garages, never mind the actual repairs. In the meantime, our fleet have given these employees a company car as we have no available vans. Where do we stand form a taxation point of view on this? Obviously, the employees have not opted to enter into the car voluntarily but this will have a significant tax implication for them if we process as a BIK. Do we have any other options?

Hi,

As the vehicle is not comparable to the van, then these must be treated seperately and follow the company car legislation even if they have not voluntarily entered into a company car agreement.

Thank you.
