Benefits Code I and Exemptions and Exclusions

29

representatives meeting sales targets would not be exempt. It will be possible to apportion such expenditure in appropriate cases.

The rules allow suitable travel and subsistence costs109 and the costs of supplying suitable materials for the training.110 There is even a specific exemption for things made by the trainee during training; the Revenue’s example is a cake made on a catering course.

The tax exemption only applies if the employer makes those contributions available to all employees on similar terms.111 Regulations are to be made so that different categories of Crown servants can be treated separately for these purposes; large companies are left to their own devices.

The new formulation in ITEPA applies whether the training is funded by the employer or by a third party, so making the former separate rule in TA 1988, section 200J redundant.
