According to the BVRLA, these increased company car driver numbers contributed an average of £1,430 in company car tax, a total of £1.37bn for the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

This figure was 5% higher than in 2013/14 and is expected to rise by 8% to £1.48bn for 2015/16. In contrast, company car tax revenues fell by nearly 5% between 2007 and 2013, reflecting the reduction CO2 emissions key to BIK calculations.
