Jo is provided with accommodation by her employer, which the employer purchased 35 years ago at a cost of £72000. the property has an annual value of £2600, and had a market value of £245000 when first made available to Jo 8 years ago.Jo pays £250 per month to her employer to live in the property
The accomodation does not qualify as job relatedwhat is the assessable benefit for Jo in the tax year 2015/16
why does it not include the additional benefit of expensive accomadation
he didnt use the market value of house and instead uses the costand his only benefit is zero £250*12-£2600
February 15, 2017 at 12:06 am #372433No additional expensive accommodation benefit as the property cost less than £75,000
February 15, 2017 at 7:25 pm #372590but it is more than 6 years since it was first made available so it must use the market value and not cost of property?
February 15, 2017 at 7:25 pm #372591so it is an expensive house?
February 16, 2017 at 12:56 am #372626No – if the cost is less than £75,000 then it does not matter how long the company has owned it nor what was its market value when the employee moved in – the 6 year rule is irrelevant in these circumstances
