The BVRLA has held a drop-in briefing for dozens of MPs at the Houses of Parliament on the subject of salary sacrifice vehicles, as part of its #SeeTheBenefit company car tax campaign.
The event was synchronised with the arrival of more than 160 letters from industry professionals, calling on the new Chancellor of the Exchequer to keep tax rates on electric company cars low.
The rental and leasing industry body has also written to the Chancellor on behalf of more than two million UK workers that are currently eligible for an electric salary sacrifice car.
BVRLA chief executive Gerry Keaney said: "Low company car tax rates are pulling people into cleaner vehicles and accelerating our progress to net zero.
"To maintain the trajectory towards the Government's 2030 phase out target, we need clarity on future rates and they must remain as low as possible for as long as possible."
BVRLA chair and Novuna Vehicle Solutions managing director Jon Lawes said: "It's imperative the Government remains steadfast in its conviction to support the transition to zero emission mobility by accelerating the rollout of EV charging infrastructure and providing much needed clarity for corporate fleets on BIK rates beyond 2025.
"Retaining low BIK rates and removing the uncertainty around company car tax bands will give businesses confidence in their ability to meet net zero deadlines."
