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.
