Taxable benefits in kind and expenses payments statistics
These statistics provide information about the taxable benefits in kind paid by employers, including the number of recipients, the taxable value of the benefits, and Income Tax and National Insurance contribution liabilities.
2021 statistics
The July 2021 publication contains a series of tables about the company cars provided as benefits in kind to employees by employers. These tables show the number of recipients of such benefits, the taxable value of the benefits and the Income Tax and National Insurance contributions (NIC) liabilities on them. Breakdowns are provided by income level of the recipient and by the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission level and fuel type of the vehicle.
Company car statistics are provided for 2018 to 2019 alongside earlier years. Provisional information for 2019 to 2020 has also been included in this publication.
In addition, this publication includes a new table showing the total taxable value of all Class 1A benefits in kind for tax year 2015 to 2016 through to tax year 2019 to 2020.
2020 statistics
The September 2020 publication contains a series of tables about the company cars provided as benefits in kind to employees by employers. These tables show the number of recipients of such benefits, the taxable value of the benefits and the Income Tax and National Insurance contributions (NIC) liabilities on them. Breakdowns are provided by income level of the recipient and by the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission level and fuel type of the vehicle.
Company car statistics are provided for 2017 to 2018 alongside earlier years. Provisional information for 2018 to 2019 has also been included in this publication.
Other information
Previous versions of this publication covered the full range of taxable benefits in kind, based on information provided to HMRC by employers through P11D forms.
As of April 2016, employers who register for voluntary payrolling of benefits in kind no longer have to report them to HMRC on P11D forms. Where the benefit in question is a company car it still has to be reported to HMRC in Real-Time Information (RTI) submissions, but there is no corresponding reporting obligation for other benefits in kind. In the 2019 publication we advised users that the growing incompleteness in the data caused by voluntary payrolling was affecting the viability of this series of statistics.
After a review we have concluded that from 2020 this publication should report only company cars, in respect of which a full reporting requirement to HMRC still exists.
Statistics for previous years can be found on the National Archives website.
