\n In bringing the CO2\nfigure down from 163 to 148g/km, the IS 220d enjoys a more advantageous\nposition in terms of Benefit-in-Kind company car tax rates and the\nallowance companies can write down against Corporation Tax. The new\nBIK rate is 20 per cent and for the 2009/10 tax year the reduced CO2\nlevel allows companies to offset more of the IS 220d’s capital cost\nagainst Corporation Tax at a rate of 20 per cent. Taking the IS 220d\nSE-I as an example, this means companies can save up to £1,335 in\nCorporation Tax compared to the previous 2009 model with 163g/km\nemissions.
