Charging at work - BIK?

[Dan_1981]

Our place currently has several charge points, which employees are free to use.

I understand that any employee doing so should be submitting a tax review and including the cost of electricity as BIK?

Anyone doing this or any experience?

Who would know where you were charging?

Great. Do you advocate all types of tax evasion?

We have a charge point at work.

Only one person uses it (but anyone could) we log his use of it (security record it each day) and submit a p11d each year with the number of days x £1 IIRC.

I charge my phone and tablet at work, should I be paying tax on this too? What about using their microwave to heat my dinner?

Maybe. I dunno - hence the question.

The link above and other googling suggests that charging IS a BIK

There is a bit of help with this on the Gov website https://www.gov.uk/expenses-and-benefits-electric-...

HMRC guidance is (or was when I last checked a few months ago) that if the car is a company car then then there is no additional taxable benefit from charging at work. If the car is a private vehicle then charging at work is a taxable benefit,
