Appearnces can't be that important, surely, you can still 'look the part' (term used loosely), in a reasonablly efficient 3 or 5 series BMW. Although that car never moves at the weekend, they use a small Toyota as the family car. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9459#post-99787 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:09:31 +0000 Nelly 99787@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'The tax payable on a 'status' company car is extortionate'</p> <p>The big question for the new comms director is what to do re: fuel - he/she wont be taking the 'free' fuel as the tax charge is enormous. </p> <p>However, given that the role encompasses Scotland, I imagine a lot of miles will be driven. And the maximum reimbursement allowable by the government (pence per mile) does not cover fuel costs (even in a modern fuel efficient car) these days.</p> <p>I predict an expenses fiddling expose in a year or two !! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9459#post-99784 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 17:56:19 +0000 Charterhall 99784@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The tax payable on a 'status' company car is extortionate.
