Automotive app developer DCML has launched an app designed to help fleets and dealerships avoid fines.
The app – dubbed Dealer Car Manager BIK calculates the tax implications for every employee according to their use of company vehicles.
It offers an audit trail of vehicle usage and fuel recovered for private miles as well as overall fuel costs. The app uses GPS tracking with the dealer car manager web platform to provide reports and annual tax statements for all vehicle users.
Fuel card data can also be imported into the system, which equates miles driven against fuel purchased.
“Non-compliance on vehicle usage is absolutely rife and that is a big problem now that HMRC has got to grips with the issues,” said Nick Flaherty, DCML’s technical director.
“The goal of the new app, which synchronises with the web platform, is to make it easier for companies to calculate their own tax liability and that of their employees, and to report on vehicle usage,” said Flaherty.
