Details

The measure abolishes the £8,500 threshold that determines whether employees pay Income Tax on all of their benefits in kind and expenses. Employers will have additional National Insurance contributions to pay on the benefits in kind and certain expenses provided to employees earning at a rate of less than £8,500 a year.
