Commercial Vehicle Insurance – Electric car users to pay 0% company car tax in 2020
For cars registered from April 6th 2020, most benefit-in-kind rates will be reduced by two percent over the current system. For Electric Vehicles, that means zero percent, which is also extended to most vehicles registered prior to April 6th. The reduced charges will also apply to hybrids and plug-in hybrids that are capable of 130 miles or more of electric only range, with CO2 emissions less than 50g/km. (very few vehicles fit in this bracket)
Current projections are for the 0% rate to increase to 1% by 2021/22 and up to 2% in 2022/23, but this may change.

JCT 21.2.1/6.5.1 Non- Negligent Liability Insurance Product
Non-Negligence Liability Insurance is designed to provide liability for loss or damage to adjacent or surrounding property that arises due to non-negligence on behalf of a contractor. As a business owner arranging insurance where you have not been negligent may seem rather unusual, but depending on the type of Contract you are undertaking, you may need to arrange this insurance.
A standard Public Liability Insurance policy will only indemnify the Insured Party against damage to third party property or persons which has resulted from their negligence.
