The high CO2 emissions mean paying a fair bit of company car tax but in this performance-oriented segment that’s the norm. Anyway, it’s likely you’ll want to acquire it privately and then recharge the business mileage using the tax-free AMAP rates.
If you’re after an automatic it’s worth looking at the PDK Boxster S, which performs extremely well and – despite its higher price – is actually cheaper to tax because of its improved CO2 emissions.
A Porsche 911 was often the ‘prize’ for a successful small business owner – but with 911 prices continually on the rise, the new Boxster S makes much more sense as a reward for making your business successful.
