Is this BIK?

[Sockpuppet]

I need to get a digital tacho card which the DVLA are currently issuing @ £38 a pop....

If the company buys this for me (which technically as an employee I need for the work it wants me to do) will I pay BIK on this.

The card will become property of me not the company and can only be used by me (photo on it). Other large companies have paid this fee for thier staff just wondering if I am going to have to pay BIK on this (small) amount.

If it's an expense incurred wholley and solely as a result of your work with the company then it is a legitimate expense. If it is something you would have bought for yourself anyway then it is not.

Are you sure it becomes your property?

Aye. Ok offically it belongs to the secretary of state for transport as do all driving licences.

However the card has to carry the owners photo and can only be used by the person named on the card otherwise its a criminal offence.
