Low interest loans provided by employers<\/h3><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> [vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520477286358{padding-left: 5% !important;}”]Providing you are not a director, it may be possible for a company to lend an employee up to \u00a35,000 with no tax complications. This can be a useful if say the employee needs to buy out his company car to save tax on CO2 based benefit in kind charges.[\/vc_column_text]

\u00a1A Company Bus!<\/h3><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> [vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520477490021{padding-left: 5% !important;}”]No tax cost to your employees if you provide a works bus. The minimum seating is for 9 persons. (Used to be 12) This extended tax exemption will apply only to vehicles originally constructed to carry that number of seats. This mirrors a measure in VAT regulations. This will ensure that safety is not compromised by employers cramming a couple of seats into an unsuitable vehicle, such as a people carrier.[\/vc_column_text]

On your Bike<\/h3><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> [vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520477707038{padding-left: 5% !important;}”]In line with the Governments “green” policy they are increasing the mileage rates that you can claim if you use your Bicycle (20p per mile) or Motor Cyle (24p per mile) for business purposes. The new rates have applied from the 5 April 2002.[\/vc_column_text]

Consider buying the Company Car and charge your employer for business mileage<\/h3><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> [vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520477854259{padding-left: 5% !important;}”]No more car or fuel benefit charges. You can charge your mileage at no more than 40p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles in a tax year, 25p per mile over 10,000 miles.<\/p>\n

If you do charge your employer for business mileage<\/strong> the rates per mile since the 5 April 2002 have been 40p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, 25p per mile for over 10,000 miles. An extra tax perk – as the driver you can claim an additional 5p per mile for EACH employee who travels with you on a business journey![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520477908743{padding-left: 5% !important;}”]Spend less than \u00a3150 per head<\/strong> when organising the staff dinner and no benefit in kind charge will apply; this way you will not hand out a perk with a tax bill attached! Make sure you do not exceed the \u00a3150 limit as this relief is not an allowance. If you spent say \u00a3200 per head, then \u00a3200 will be treated as a benefit in kind.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″]
