1 Employer-provided residential accommodation is subject to taxation as a benefit-in-kind for the ‘services’ involved, for any payment of Council Tax, and on the ‘value’ of the property. The total amount varies somewhat between different flats across College and the Home Bursar or Accountant can give you a guide as to the amount of tax you will face in any particular unit – in all cases, given the age of the College buildings and assuming JRFs are at a 20% marginal rate of taxation, the total is not likely to exceed £1,800 per annum. Please note that, if the HMRC change the taxation rules again (as done recently), College does not compensate employees for any increased level of tax.
