Correcting BIK Tax Codes re Euro 6 Vehicles

Didn't find your answer?

Hi all,

Has anybody got any advice on how to correct HRMCs incorrect tax codes regarding the new (19/20) calculations for diesel vehicles with Euro 6 engines?

We have had a nightmare with these lately (HMRC issuing 3 different tax codes for one employee over 2 weeks with 2 different amounts as the vehicle benefit).

Client's 3 directors all have taxable BIK for vehicles (we act for company and directors personally). I suggested the directors log into their personal tax accounts (to let us know how HMRC had come up with the code) and then to attempt to change the fuel type of the vehicle from diesel to diesel euro 6 (which should reduce the benefit) but, alas, there is only the 3 old fuel type options for the client to choose from. 

Is something so simple going to take a phone call to HMRC to rectify?

I guess this is more of a rhetorical question and a rant - but would appreciate peoples comments.
