BIM44500 - Specific deductions: employee benefit trusts: contents

Some employee benefit trusts (EBTs) are set up to provide employees and directors with specific kinds of benefits such as shares in their employing company, pensions and other retirement benefits, accident benefits or healthcare benefits. However general-purpose EBTs have increasingly been used for tax avoidance purposes, with the aim of providing employees and directors with benefits in ways that aim to minimise or avoid liability to Income TaxΒ and employers바카라 사이트™ National Insurance Contributions (NICs).

In many cases the main risk may relate to Income Tax under PAYE and NICs due on amounts paid out of the EBT, rather than the availability of a Corporation Tax deduction (at some time) for the employer바카라 사이트™s contribution. It is therefore important that staff considering deductions for employers바카라 사이트™ contributions liaise with employer compliance staff so that all aspects of the case are considered together.

There may also be Inheritance Tax consequences if a deduction for a contribution made by a close company to an EBT is disallowed or deferred in computing the company바카라 사이트™s taxable profits. In these cases staff considering deductions for employers바카라 사이트™ contributions should liaise withΒ WMBC Assets EBT Team, see BIM44550.
