Welcome to Business Car Manager
The Geneva Motor Show is nearly upon us – the first major European show of the year. And that means exciting new cars to choose for your business motoring, including a new Ford Fiesta, a new Volvo SUV, and a stylish Audi A4 Avant.
But when choosing your new business car don’t forget the changes to the company tax rules previewed in the last e-newsletter. The Fiat 500 tested below has buckets of style but bundles of business sense, too, because it qualifies for the new 10% tax band coming this April. And if you missed the changes to the London Congestion Charge zone, you can catch up with them here.

VW has just launched this compact 4x4. It’s designed for the rough and tough urban landscape rather than a country life. Leaving wellies behind, Ralph Morton reports.
The Fiat 500: it’s the most desirable car of the year. But while it’s sky-high on style it’s also rock-bottom on tax. Sam Hardy tests the 10% tax band diesel 500.
