A number of key tax and legislation changes impacting on businesses, fleets and company car drivers are due to be implemented over the coming years.

These will be highlighted during a free-to-attend session at Fleet Management Live hosted by Claire Evans, head of fleet consultancy at independent vehicle leasing and fleet management company Zenith.

At the event, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham on October 19 and 20, Evans, a tax qualified consultant who joined Zenith in July 2015, will focus on:

• The new International Financial Reporting Standard, which requires lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for most leases on the company balance sheet from January 1, 2019
• A tightening of capital allowance carbon dioxide emission thresholds from April 2018
• The impact of company car benefit-in-kind tax increases up to the end of 2019/20 and the abolition of the 3% diesel supplement now delayed until April 2021.
• The continued role a salary sacrifice scheme can play in organisations.

During the session attendees will be provided with guidance on what they can do to plan for the changes to ensure the future funding of their fleet will help reduce costs and simultaneously align with business objectives.

Evans has more than 10 years' consultancy experience in the vehicle rental and leasing industry and is responsible for developing Zenith’s consultancy proposition.
