a) Dill had the use of Herb plc’s company gym which is only open to
employees of the company — exempt under “recreational and sports facilities” for employment income.
b) Herb plc paid a health club membership fee of £990 for the benefit of Dill — is taxable as per Q115 (Dill) BPP kit
Shouldn’t this be exempt for the same reason as a) ?
a) Exempt benefit as it is the company’s own gym – and facilities are ONLY available to employees
b) Amount paid to a separate health club and therefore benefit follows normal rule of fully taxable on cost to employer of service paid for by employer and supplied to employee
A further possibility would be where the employee works for the health club itself and is provided with free use of the facilities – where the benefit assessable would be just the marginal cost to the employer of providing the benefit – NOT the normal membership fee
