easiest way round the "benefit in kind rule" is to do what welcome break do
with coach drivers, just charge them 1p for the meal so then it is paid for
and apparently has no tax implications, it would be a sad person who
objected to paying this amount to avoid income tax on the so called free
meal
Welcome break do not employ the coach drivers so it cannot be said
they are being paid a "Benefit in kind" as part of their remuneration.
In reality they are being paid a few pounds commission as freelancers
for providing Welcome Break with a coachload of paying customers.
HMRC would not be fazed by a 1p charge for a 5 quid meal should they
choose to address the issue.
If nothing else, HMRC are losing 74.5p in VAT on every (5 quid) meal
that is charged out at a non commercial rate, that time may not be
very long in the coming.
