You could also call this:

"How employer benefits affect your family scheme income"

Illustration for Income Tax Act 2007

When your employer gives you benefits, like a car or a short-term charge facility, it can affect your family scheme income. You need to work out how much more money you would get if you did not have these benefits. This amount is added to your family scheme income. If your employer gives you a short-term charge facility, you must work out its value, including fringe benefit tax. You can use your employer's fringe benefit tax rate or the maximum basic rate of fringe benefit tax to calculate this. The value of the benefit is added to your family scheme income if it is over a certain amount. You can find more information about short-term charge facilities in section CX 25(3) and about fringe benefit tax rates in schedule 1, part C. Your employer's salary or wages and the value of the benefits they give you are used to work out your family scheme income. The amount of fringe benefit tax on a benefit is also used to work out your family scheme income.
