It's looking increasingly likly that company car/lease costs are going to rise for those people who have a VAG diesel on company lease.

So, assuming the tax grouping is rasied after revision of the CO2 rating, this indicates that BIK will increase for the impacted users - I'm not certain how much it will raise BIK per vehicle, but will probably be between 1-10% depending on how bad the numbers were fudged. Therefore, can a user legitimately reject a car mid-term if the costs have increased beyond those projected? (My thought is probably not as the increase in cost is via taxation and not a cost imparted by the lease companies?)

What are peoples thoughts?

(Apologies if this has been asked before)

As above - this is so wide ranging, I expect something will be passed on to the motorist! wink

Some very vague comms from the lease firm, called them up and asked out right - they were adamant costs would rise... (although I was talking to customer service and not a decision maker)
