" If a car is provided to an employee for work purposes, and is solely for that employee?s own use, and the employee does not transport others it would not be covered by the legislation. But if the employee uses the vehicle to transport clients or colleagues, even if only occasionally, then the vehicle will have to be smoke-free as it will be considered a work vehicle."
I have a company car as part of my salary package and as such it is counted as a sole-user vehicle not a pool car and I have to pay tax on it.
However, I am expected to allow colleagues to use the vehicle when needed and sometimes I transport clients in this vehicle so I am no longer allowed to smoke in it as it is technically classed as a work vehicle.
Isn't this double standards?
Either its my vehicle to do with as I please (after all it's costing me a fortune in tax) or its a work vehicle that is available to anyone in the company and therefore should be classed as a pool car in which case I shouldn't be taxed on it?
