DII Mobile Anyone?

[SirToppamHat]

A higher-rate taxpayer on a £350 mobile phone contract through work will have to pay an extra £140 a year for the same deal, according to experts at the firm Willis Towers Watson. In similar circumstances gym membership could cost an extra £160 a year and health screening an extra £240.

The suggestion is that this will apply to those with 'tax efficient' salary sacrifice schemes, but is there a danger that we too will be taxed for such benefits?

DII is dead, long live MODNet. When they fix it.

What benefits do you think could be taxed?

If the military gives company cars or Virgin Gym membership, nobody told me!


It has often been observed that being in a war zone keeps you fit and teaches you lessons that you'd never learn in a civilian role. So henceforth this free fitness regime and the educational experiences will be deemed benefits in kind that must obviously be taxable as perqs.

So being shot at will now be taxed.
