Civil Servants: Official Cars

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 5 January 2026UIN 100336

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department provides guidance to civil servants on personal tax implications for the use of official cars provided by the Government Car Service.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The Government Car Service (GCS) does not provide tax guidance. Tax matters are the responsibility of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and individuals are expected to refer to HMRC guidance or seek independent advice as appropriate.
