# Company cars and vans (Jul 2026)

### 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](/docs/benefits-company-vehicles).
