EIM23835 | Car benefit: special cases: employees with frequent changes of car (from 2009 to 2010): Averaging Step 1: cars without a CO2 emissions figure

From HM Revenue & Customs · Employment Income Manual

EIM24505 explains when a car has a CO2 emissions figure. If (exceptionally) a car which does not have a CO2 emissions figure is identified at Averaging Step 1 as being within these arrangements, use the following figures. They’re derived from the normal rules for such cars at EIM24950 and EIM24975 respectively, being the highest emissions figure in the ready reckoner at EIM24705 (as appropriate) which gives rise to the relevant appropriate percentage.
