TCTM04204 - Income: Employment income rules - Specific payments and benefits in kind excluded from employment income for tax credit purposes: Car Parking

The Tax Credits (Definition and Calculation of Income) Regulations 2002, Reg. 4(4), Table 1 (Item 4).

Payment or reimbursement of expenses in connection with the provision for, or use by, the claimant as a person holding an office or employment of a car parking space at or near their place of work.

This is identical to the income tax exclusion (see Employment Income Manual para EIM01030)

Note: With effect from 6 April 2017 the way in which many salary sacrifice and benefit in kind schemes are taxed will change, which means that some tax credit claimants will see an increase in their taxable income.

For the purposes of tax credits, where one of these schemes is in operation the taxable income figure should be used.
