# Entering an amount forgone for an OpRA agreement

For **Company Cars** with **CO2** emissions over **75g**, you will need to enter the amount foregone (Salary Sacrifice) for an **OpRA** agreement. **Cintra iQ** will then calculate the appropriate taxable charge either on a **P11D** or for a payrolled benefit for each period.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** For CO2 emissions 75 gms or below, any OpRA forgone amounts will be disregarded when calculating the vehicle benefit.

You can create entries for each car that you have used for a tax year along with the actual benefit that is foregone if you set the **OPRA** flag to **Y**. Once this is set in the **Expenses & Benefits window > Company Vehicle Usage tab > Vehicle Usage** pane, you can enter an amount in the **Amount Foregone** tab in the **Details** pane.

## How do I enter an amount foregone?

1. Go to: Employment Record > Forms > **Expenses & Benefits window**.
2. Click on the **Company Vehicle Usage** tab.
3. Highlight the desired **Vehicle Usage** record in the **Vehicle Usage** pane where **OPRA** is set to **Y**.
4. Navigate to the **Amount Forgone** tab in the **Details** pane.
5. Click **New**. The **New Vehicle Amount Forgone** form appears.
6. Enter the **Vehicle Forgone** **Amount**, **Fuel Foregone Amount,** and select the **Tax Year**.
7. Click the **Apply** button.
8. Click the **OK** button to save and exit.
