Details

The measure will introduce a statutory exemption which will allow employers to identify and treat certain low value benefits in kind provided to employees as ‘trivial’. Those benefits in kind will become exempt from Income Tax and National Insurance contributions and therefore not need to be reported to HM Revenue and Customs.
