Price - including the value of Accessories subsequently added after the car was made available to the employee.


Capital contributions - lump sum paid by the employee as capital contributions towards the cost of the car or accessories.


Payments made for Private Use of the Car can also be entered. 

The dates that the car was available FROM and TO are also required. The "Yes" default is set to all of the Tax year, any changes to this should be keyed into the appropriate fields.  
The system also caters for "Any other days unavailable (30 days or more)" whereby the system will reduce the BIK value as appropriate.
