Car Scale Benefit

From 6 April 2002 car benefit is based on a percentage of the car's list price (subject to a ceiling of £ (GBP)80,000) graduated according to the level of the car's CO2 emissions. This applies to cars first registered on or after 1 January 1998. There are different rules for older cars and those with no CO2 figure.

Discounts apply for cars, which run on alternative fuels such as electric, Battery and liquefied petroleum gas. Supplements apply if the car runs solely on diesel.

Beneficial loans

Official rate of interest for 2001/2002 - 6.25% up to and including 5 January 2002 and 5% thereafter.

Use of assets

Benefit is 20% of market value or cost to employer (if greater) plus relevant expenses. Special rules for property.

Individual Savings Accounts

The ISA annual contribution limit of £ (GBP)7,000 lasts until 5 April 2006. There are limits of £ (GBP)3,000 for the cash element and £ (GBP)1,000 for the life assurance element. Savers are exempt from Income and Capital Gains Tax and a 10% tax credit will be paid on dividends from UK equities until 5 April 2004.

All PEPs held at 5 April 1999 can continue to be held, but no new investments can be made in PEPs. The PEP rules were aligned with the ISA rules from 6 April 2001 and there is no distinction between general and single company PEPs.

Charitable Giving

The minimum amount for a Gift Aid donation was abolished with effect from 6 April 2000 and all cash donations, of whatever size, made by a UK taxpayer are eligible for Gift Aid relief. Gift Aid declarations can be made in writing, on the telephone or over the internet and must contain the name and address of the donor, the name of the charity and a statement that the donor pays sufficient income or capital gains tax to cover the tax reclaimed by the charity. Tax relief for donations made under a deed of covenant is given under Gift Aid rules. From 1 April 2000 company donations to charity are made gross. The company claims tax relief in its computation and the charity receives no additional tax reclaim. Measures will be introduced to allow higher rate taxpayers to carry back their portion of Gift Aid relief (18%) to the previous year. Taxpayers will be able to nominate a charity to receive all or part of a tax repayment due to them. Income and Capital Gains Tax relief applies for gifts to charity of listed shares and securities, AIM shares, units in authorised unit trusts and shares in OEIC's. Land and buildings have now been added to this list.
