About Toyota Financial Services

Toyota and Lexus finance in the UK comes from Toyota Financial Services (UK) PLC, which is owned by Toyota Financial Services Corporation in Japan and based in Epsom, Surrey. For Lexus it trades as Lexus Financial Services. Most customers come to it through a franchised dealer, where hire purchase or PCP is arranged alongside the car.

Ahead of the Supreme Court ruling, the company set aside almost £70m for motor finance compensation in its accounts for the year to March 2025.

2 · InterestAdded for the time you were without the money. This is taxed.
3 · Tax deductedUsually 20% of the interest. This is what we get back for you.

  2. The compensation included interest, with tax deducted.
  3. You were a basic-rate or non-taxpayer in the tax year you were paid.
