General question about BIK's

General question about BIK's

Didn't find your answer?

Prosper Squared - company client pays them £3k a month, that's a BIK right? Unless all the employees benefit from the points, right?

 Company client uses an American Express card to pay for as much as they can, due to the points/Air miles rewards from AMEX. That's a BIK, isnt it?

I’d suggest that you discuss this with your accountant who has access to the full details.

If you want to read about the subject, this is the HMRC manual:

In which case, could you perhaps share the technical analysis you applied in reaching your conclusions “that's a BIK right?” and “That's a BIK, isnt it?”. The site works so much better when questions offer some technical insight to promote discussion.

£3k a month in 'advertising and promotion'
Is it credible?

Talk us through your "unless". Which exclusion/exemption/relief/whatever have you in mind?

I don't know about Prosper Squared, but HMRC have named B2B Tradecard Ltd on their list of tax avoidance schemes: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/named-tax-avoidance-schemes-p...

If this arrangement is similar you should be aware of this.

I thought it might be something to do with Freemasonry?

Prosper Squared is pretty much the same as this.
