MORE THAN BUSINESS AS USUAL.

The MINI Business Partnership Programme is specifically designed for fleets of 50 cars or fewer, or sole traders. It offers competitive contract hire rates across the range of MINI models. You are assigned a dedicated, expert Business Development Manager who will help guide you through everything you need to know about managing your fleet. Whether you need another vehicle for a new member of staff or an entire fleet of cars, business customers can take advantage of a range of exclusive offers. Thanks to a combination of low running costs and strong residual values, there is a MINI to suit all your business needs. Alongside our competitive business rates, we also have offers on MINI servicing plans to keep your fleet running smoothly and efficiently.

To provide a premium MINI experience our retailers offer industry-leading service and support to fleet managers and drivers in their corresponding companies.  Each site has their own corporate team on hand to help you find the ideal MINI for your business. They’ve completed specialist training to make sure you get the best service tailored to your needs. They are familiar with the MINI service portfolio for business customers and will be happy to provide expert advice.

Under His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) rules, once you get a company car and can use it for private usage – even commuting – the car is taxed as a benefit-in-kind (BiK). 

How much company car tax you’ll pay depends on your salary, your personal marginal tax rate, how much the car costs and the company car tax band it is in, based on the volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Put simply, the lower your income tax rate, the lower the car’s purchase price, and the lower its emissions, the less it'll cost you.  There are helpful calculators available online at gov.uk for clarity or your local retailer will be able to provide guidance.

Carbon dioxide emissions are measured by weight, in grammes (g), and calculated by how much CO2 is emitted from the exhaust pipe per the distance driven, measured in kilometres (km). CO2 emission rates are usually displayed as (g/km). This figure remains unaltered for the entire life of the vehicle and appears on its registration document (V5). Each new model on sale in the UK and Ireland is given an authoritative CO2 emission figure as part of the vehicle's 'Type Approval Test' which is carried out prior to first registration by the manufacturer.

Whilst the CO2 emissions figure remains static for the life of the vehicle, Benefit In Kind application tax rates can change throughout the period of usage.  We would always suggest you discuss this with our MINI Corporate experts at your MINI retailer.

Your organisation may be able to take advantage of even further attractive rates and discounts across our entire MINI range. And depending on your business requirements, our dedicated team is equipped to offer comprehensive support and assistance. But as every business is different, our MINI Corporate Certified Centres will swiftly assess your needs and help you manage your mobility in an effective and sustainable way. While we would be able to provide you with any number of MINI vehicles at any time, there is more to be taken into consideration. We would look to see whether you could efficiently combine company cars and pool vehicles in your fleet to reduce costs, taxes and your carbon footprint – while ensuring continued fleet compliance.

Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax is predicated on the CO2 emissions of a vehicle. The BIK rate is multiplied by the P11D price of the car to derive the value of the annual taxable benefit. The rate of income tax paid by the driver is then applied to this amount to give the annual BIK charge. Vehicles with lower CO2 emissions incur a lower tax liability.
