Fuel scale charges are taxes against free fuel provided for personal use in company cars. These charges are dependent upon the carbon dioxide - CO2 emissions band of the car.
When you enter your fuel scale charge details, a set of journal entries are created and posted to the audit trail.
Tip: If you are using a UK Flat rate VAT scheme, scales charges are not applicable.
You can access the Scale Charges wizard from Company > Manage VAT > Scales Charges or Modules > Wizards > Scale Charges.
