What is Electric Vehicle Charging BIK Exemption?
A tax exemption covering the cost of charging a company electric car at or through the workplace.
Full Definition
Certain electric vehicle charging benefits provided by an employer are exempt from Benefit-in-Kind tax, most notably charging a company car (or in some cases a private EV used for business) at a charging point provided at or near the workplace. The exemption is narrower for charging away from work — for example, employer reimbursement of home or public charging costs has its own specific rules — so employers and employees should check current HMRC guidance to confirm which charging scenarios are exempt versus taxable.
