The 6 July filing deadline for 2014/15 P11Ds has loomed into view again. Although the 2014/15 P11D is very similar to the previous year's version, there were a few changes to note.

As always, there were changes to the car benefit rates with the 10% rate abolished for 2014/15 so that a rate of 11% applies for cars with emissions of 76g/km to 94g/km. The fuel benefit multiplier increased from £21,100 to £21,700 for 2014/15. The benefit for unrestricted private use of a van increased from £3,000 to £3,090 and the van fuel benefit increased from £564 to £581 for 2014/15.

The exemption for beneficial loans for 2014/15 rose from £5,000 to £10,000 and the beneficial loan interest rate for the year reduced from 4% to 3.25%. The rate will be 3% for 2015/16.
