2% Benefit-in-kind tax
Benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax rates are set, in part, by a car’s CO2 emissions. The 100% electric Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 emit zero tail-pipe emissions, meaning they qualify for the lowest ‘band’ at only 2%. Even better, this will remain at 2% until 2025. By comparison, BIK tax is set to a minimum of 15% for petrol and diesel cars.
Polestar Life Cycle Assessment
Sustainability is a core component of the Polestar brand. To enable other brands who share our values to make the best decisions, we produce a fully transparent life cycle assessment for each of our cars. This detailed report builds a clear picture of where our cars succeed in bringing sustainable change.
100% write-down allowance in year one
Currently, electric vehicles purchased in the UK by organisations can qualify for a 100% write-down during the first year of ownership. This means you can reduce the amount of tax you pay. See below for a guide using the Polestar 3 and Polestar 2 as examples.
