Understand it is a BIK but is it a justifiable business expense. Ie - no requirement to pay CT on the expenditure?

Sounds good, problem is I've joined the local Spa, it's a stressful life you know. £180 a month for me and my wife, it is wonderful though.
I've now talked with my IFA. Membership of the gym through the business is a BIK, no doubt about it. So will scrap the idea.
Thanks anyway guys...

Costs less than £25 a month for PruHelath so even if you only take it for the gym membership its still less than half the price of a basic Canons membership which is over £60 normally.
PruHealth is not the same type of medical cover as BUPA though.

If they have a deal with a gym chain where you get a discounted membership but you pay the fee yourself it's not a BIK.
If they have a deal with a gym chain where all their employees get membership but they don't pay per person its not a BIK.
At least thats what I've been told.
Just get PruHealth and get free gym membership.

How much are your premiums for Pru Health.
I see BUPA are now offering this as well.

I've had corporate gym membership before, as a permie, which got me a reduced monthly fee - that was it. Would like to know how I transfer the same benefits to myself now that I'm both employer & employee.

This is kind of confusing. I'm sure I've had corporate gym membership before without having to declare it on my P11D?

This would also be true, for example, with BUPA insurance?
Think I need to talk to my IFA....

You can expense what the hell you want. The question is; is it a BIK on which you will pay tax?

Since all those expense questions are floating about...
Under what circumstances could I make my membership payments a company expense? Employee benefit perhaps?Tags: None
