write a Review about the Daihatsu
Sirion
Compact car specialist Daihatsu is
combating the changes in tax rules that under the current regime
penalise both employees and employers where thirsty, instead of
environmentally-friendly vehicles, are provided.
As the Government shows no sign of
deviating from their strategy, added to the uncertain fuel-costs and
tighter budgets, this has left most companies in a quandary over
alternative arrangements.
Daihatsu, which is behind the ‘National Cheaper Motor Campaign’, can add
a fifth ingredient to the menu of its four key features – excellent fuel
economy, low Road Fund Licences, five-year warranty and proven
reliability – the added bonus of taxable benefit!
Cars producing CO2 emissions of 120g/km or less are subject
to a taxable benefit of 10% of the list price under the Inland Revenue
Company Car Scheme rules.
Daihatsu’s 1.0S and 1.0SE Sirion models
produce just 118g/km, and with the 1.0S costing just £8,495 on the road,
a basic rate tax payer opting for this car as their company vehicle will
pay tax of just £14.16 per month or £169.90 per annum.
In addition, all Daihatsus now come
with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty plus five years’ UK roadside
recovery. The offer is not transferable and applies to all retail sales.
Paul Hegarty, Operations Director,
Daihatsu Vehicle Distributors Ltd said: “We are delighted that the
Inland Revenue is finally giving recognition to motorists wishing to
ease the burden not only on the environment, but also on their wallets.
Daihatsu is a brand that is synonymous with reliable, low-polluting and
economical compact cars. Despite the difficult economic climate, our
cars really are perfectly tuned for these challenging times.”
