Developed by automotive software specialist DCML, the new app can be used to calculate the tax implications for every employee according to their use of company vehicles and provides a full audit trail of vehicle usage and fuel recovered for private miles, as well as overall fuel costs. 

The app is aimed at car dealers but can be used by any type of company. Far simpler to use, the new app utilises GPS tracking and real-time synchronisation with the Dealer Car Manager web platform to save time while providing reports and annual tax statements for all vehicle users. Fuel card data can be imported into the system which reconciles miles driven against fuel purchased.

Nick Flaherty, DCML’s technical director, said: ‘Non-compliance on vehicle usage is absolutely rife and that is a big problem now that HMRC has got to grips with the issues.

‘The goal of the new app, which synchronises with the web platform, is to make it dramatically easier for companies to calculate their own tax liability and that of their employees, and to report on vehicle usage.’
