##congress--right##TIME is running out to participate in our company car tax survey. The polls close on Friday, so this week is the last opportunity for you to have your say.

We have been delighted with the response received so far, but we need the broadest sample possible in order to present the most accurate picture of what is going to happen when the BIK changes come in next year.

The survey is part of a major national joint survey by Fleet News and Ford, the results of which will be revealed at this year's Fleet News Congress, on Wednesday, November 7 at the Inter-Continental Hotel, Hyde Park Corner, London.

More than 120 fleet decision-makers and thousands of drivers have already answered an online survey as part of the largest research project undertaken into the new 2002 benefit-in-kind tax.

Everyone who takes part will be entered in a draw to win:

  1. A pair of tickets for the UK sporting event of their choice.
  2. Two places at the Congress together worth £450
  3. Ten subscriptions to Emap Magazines
