    Hello,

    E is provided with a flat by her employer. The employer purchased the flat in 2016 for £ 85,000. E moved into the flat on 1 Apr 2018 when the market value was £120,000. The employer pays Council Tax of £120 per month. E contributes £50 for use of the flat. The annual value is £50.

    What is the taxable benefit?
    -The calculation is as follows:
    Annual Value(500) + additional charge(250)- employee contribution+Council tax

    1. Could you explain why council tax has been added?

    Thanks

    It is another personal cost – like a gas bill or electricity bill – that has been paid for by the employer – it is therefore an assessable benefit

    I do not think that the student has correctly copied all the information from the question and answer – so other than my answer to the specific query – ignore it!
