The focus is on cars with CO2 emissions under 120 g/km

The news that fleets and personal drivers will be able to save money by running cars that have emissions of under 120 g/km will greatly increase interest in this eco-friendly range. By choosing low emission cars fleet managers and personal drivers will be eligible for the new benefit-in-kind tax rate of 10% and this could mean savings of hundreds of pounds a year for the individual,and thousands of pounds a year for fleet managers. We take a look at the cars that will qualify for the new benefit-in-kind tax rate.
