HC Deb 29 March 1979 vol 965 cc355-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the taxed worth to a married man with a no children claim and a bachelor with an earned salary of £5,000, £10,000, £15,000, and £20,000 per annum of a car worth £12,800 per annum tax free.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Tax liability on car benefits depends on several factors. If tax were chargeable on £12,800, taken as the highest slice of income, its net value would be as follows:

Net value
Salary Single person Married couple, no children
£ £ £
5,000 6,539 6,743
10,000 4,595 4,787
15,000 3,298 3,424
20,000 2,575 2,621
