I am struggling with a question on employment benefits and wondered if some could shed some light on the answers.

If a car has CO2 emissions of 142g/km and a list price of £36500 the car benefit is £9125 and fuel benefit of £5550 - correct?
petrol provided for x amount of business miles and x amount of private miles is irrelevant as they would still be charge the £5550 as above?

use of company owned gym at a cost of £50 a month? Not a taxable benefit?
Company computer worth £500 so they can work from home? Not a taxable benefit
winning a case of beer worth £200 - not a taxable benefit?

total benefits just £14675 at 20% or 40% if salary makes them a higher tax payer?

any help on the above would be much appreciated..

    Hi @dicko182
    Would you confirm for which tax year you are calculating the benefits?
    Thanks

    Company computer worth £500 so they can work from home? Not a taxable benefit Assuming no significant private use
    winning a case of beer worth £200 - not a taxable benefit? assumed not received by reason of employment

    total benefits just £14675 at 20% or 40% if salary makes them a higher tax payer?
