EIM22080 - Van benefit to 2004/05: value of exclusive availability
Section 157 ITEPA 2003
The value of exclusive availability needs to be added to the value of shared availability (see EIM22090) to arrive at the total cash equivalent of the van benefit for a particular employee (see EIM22075).
Value of exclusive availability
Where a van is made available for the exclusive use of one employee at any time in a year the value is calculated as follows:
| Step 1 | EIM22067 | Determine the age of the van |
| Step 2 |
| If the age of the van is less than 4 years at the end of the tax year in question, the basic value of the van for the year is £500. |
|
|
| In any other case, the basic value of the van for the year is £350. |
| Step 3 | (a)
EIM22082
(b) EIM22070 | Make any deduction from the basic value of the van under Section 158 for any periods when the van was (a) unavailable or (b) a shared van. |
| The resulting amount is the provisional sum. | ||
| Step 4 | EIM22084 | Make any deduction from
the provisional sum under Section 159 in respect of payments by the
employee for the private use of the van in respect of exclusive
availability.
The result is the value of exclusive availability. |
