Benefits in Kind

​

If the company provides your staff or yourself with any benefits other than salary, then you are required to complete a P11D or P9D form for each individual and file a P11D(b) employers’ declaration form with HMRC each tax year. Benefits in kind include provision of medical insurance, company cars and fuel, company vans and gym or health club membership. The company has to pay Employers’ Class 1A NIC on the value of the benefits each tax year. The employee will also be required to pay Income Tax on their benefits. If you pay yourself or your staff a mileage allowance, this is not a benefit in kind provided it is under the statutory limits. At the date of print, the annual statutory mileage allowances for individuals using their personal car for business journeys are:

​

•    45 pence per mile for the first 10,000 miles
•    25 pence per mile for miles in excess of 10,000

Contracts and Legal Requirements

​

It is strongly recommended that you issue formal contracts of employment to your staff. These should set out the standard terms and conditions of their employment. However, if you are the sole Director of the company, you may not wish to have a formal contract of employment. This will give you flexibility. It is now a requirement to enrol all your workers to a recognised pensions . Our dedicated can help you to auto enrol to any pension scheme of your choice to meet this statutory requirement as required by the pension regulated.
