July 2026: Company cars and vans

Prev

Manage company car and van benefits directly in Cintra People Payroll.

Cintra People Payroll now supports company car and van management as a Benefit in Kind (BIK), directly against an employee record. You can assign, edit, end, or delete a vehicle benefit without leaving Cintra People, and the system calculates the associated tax for you.

What's new

  • Assign an existing car or van to an employee from your existing vehicle records.

  • Assign a new vehicle using the built-in DVLA vehicle lookup, so you don't need to enter the details manually.

  • Manage a benefit over time: end, edit, or delete a car or van benefit as circumstances change.

  • Capture the related detail, including:

    • Salary sacrifice (for the car and for fuel)

    • Capital contributions

    • Making-good payments

    • Which days the vehicle is unavailable

  • Company van support, including allocate a percentage usage to multiple employees.

  • Automatic Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax calculation, feeding directly into payroll using our existing BIK engine.

Key benefits

  • Manage company cars yourself. Add, update, or remove a vehicle benefit directly in Cintra People Payroll, without submitting changes elsewhere and waiting for them to be processed.

  • Fewer errors: Removing manual spreadsheet handling reduces the risk of data entry mistakes.

  • Tax calculated for you: Once a benefit is set up, BIK tax is worked out automatically each payroll period.

  • One less system to manage: Company car changes now happen in the same place you record other benefits.

What next?

This feature can be accessed from the Benefits tab when editing an employee. For more information, see the help article: Benefits: Company vehicles.
