PTC Benefits in Kind

I have been looking through my book but can't find it now but how is it you calculate a benefit in kind for the supply of a Laptop from your employer?
Is it just the normal 20% of the value? I think I might be getting muddled up with CGT and Benefits in Kind cause I think I answered a question somewhere that there was no assessable benefit but got it wrong. (I think cause I was thinking of it as a wasting chattel which refers to CGT) Brain overload again!
Can anyone confirm the correct answer please

i think it is 20% of the market value at time of purchase per annum. I would assume if this is provided for work purposes that it would be exempt, but someone else would have to clarify this.0 -
I'm pretty sure that if it was provided for personal use then it is 20%
But if it is wholly, exclusively and necessary in order to perform employments duties then is allowable.

I think that they may also include the odd payment that he may have made personally towards the laptop,
do we then do 20% of laptop less the payment amount or
cost of laptop less payments made * 20%
Always get confused by this0 -

I got stuck on this before. You multiply the cost of the Laptop by 20% to get assessable amount THEN deduct contribution. The only time you take the contribution off first is if it is a Capital Contribution towards the cost of a car. (I think!:laugh:)0 -
I thought you deducted a capital contribution from the market value before deducting the 20% whereas if a contribution to the running costs it would be deducted after calculating the taxable benefit.
So if the laptop cost £1000 and personal contribution to purchase of £100 this would give a taxable benefit of (£1000-£100 x 20%) £180 per annum.
Again I could be wrong.0 -
Oh no here I go again doubt.................so who is gonna post the right answer so we all pass this exam?:laugh:0
-
I have just looked it up for us - is it laptop * 20% less how much contributed

good luck
