Medical insurance is taxable for employees paid at a rate of more than £8,500 a year, as are the school fees of an employee's child where paid by the employer (regardless of the level of pay). Any free equipment or clothing used specifically in the course of work is not generally taxable, nor are certain meals provided on the employer's premises or luncheon vouchers up to a value of 15p per working day. Workplace nursery provision for employees' children is not liable for income tax or national insurance contributions, provided that certain qualifying conditions are met. Tax relief is available for certain relocation expenses. Money given as a long-service gift is taxable.
