Company car tax is calculated on the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions a car produces and a percentage of the list price, plus delivery charges and qualifying accessories.
But that's not something you should be too worried about. Many of the models in our range offer excellent emissions performance, especially our highly regarded BlueMotion diesel cars. Polo, Golf, Golf Estate, Jetta, Passat, Passat Estate, Touran, Touran and Sharan all currently have a BlueMotion trim and the new Touareg Hybrid, ensuring there's a cost effective environmental option from Volkswagen for your fleet.
All of which means the company car tax is just one more reason for drivers to choose a Volkswagen.
Below is a quick reference guide to the percentages of the P11d value.

Example
The Volkswagen Passat R Line 2.0 TDi 110ps with a P11d value of £18,530 and CO2 emissions of 143g/km, attracts a tax charge or 19% of its P11d value. £18,530 x 19% gives you a taxable value of £3,520, equating to a yearly tax liability of £704 for a 20% tax payer or £1,408 for a 40% tax payer.
