The Association of Car Fleet Operators (ACFO) has called for clarification of long-term company car tax rates in the UK's 2014 Budget.
WASHINGTON – A new report from the National Association of State Budget Officers (NASBO) and the National Governors Association (NGA) found that the fiscal situation in states in 2013 is recovering along with the U.S. economy.
Hard times present the opportunity (or necessity) to make needed changes in fleet management that would otherwise have never occurred during good times. Too often, change is difficult to implement in the government sector as the status quo reigns supreme. However, in an environment of dwindling resources and shrinking budgets, the “status quo model” no longer works. Business as usual is a recipe for disaster.
Every function of a fleet operation is centered on money: acquisition of vehicles/equipment, fuel, maintenance, facilities, salaries, parts inventory, shop supplies, tools, etc. As we all know, the No. 1 problem today (and for the foreseeable future) is the lack of money due to depressed sales and property tax revenues. In an era of belt tightening, there are a number of unintended consequences of efforts to stem budgetary shortfalls.
