Company Car & Tax

A question about : Company Car & Tax

I'm lucky enough to have a job with a company car and a fuel card, I've heard this isn't very tax efficient and it's better to:
1) Pay for fuel and expense costs (my private miles are small) or
2) Opt out of company car scheme and purchase own car.

Opinions please!!

• Hi my husband works for a car company and he gets a company car heres the deal....
  you can either havea company car or not... those are your options
  now we worked out its about 100-150 per month to have this luxury....based on his wage..
  BUT can you buy, maintain, tax, insure, etc etc etc a car for 150 per month?
  We couldn't he would need to buy a reasonable car, and the tax and insurance on top of that would just be alot more!
