Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles benefit-in-kind easement for emission standard changes

In response to updated emissions standards (Euro 6d-ISC-FCM and Euro 6e), Budget 2025 includes a **benefits in kind easement** to mitigate the impact on company car tax for PHEVs. Vehicles registered on or after 1 January 2025 which meet certain criteria will have their CO2 emission figure deemed nominally 1 for BIK calculation purposes. This easement applies retroactively from 1 January 2025 to 5 April 2028, and those accessing eligible PHEV company cars before 5 April 2028 will retain easement until variation or renewal or until 5 April 2031. This helps employers and employees avoid sudden tax increases due to standard changes.
