(This note is not part of the Order)
The effect of this Order is that value added tax will no longer be levied in respect of amounts of salary, wages or other emoluments forgone by employees in return for the right to the private use of a motor car provided by their employer.
This Order has no effect in relation to supplies for which the consideration is in a form other than a salary sacrifice.
