What is tax treatment of college sponsorship by employer?



An employer sponsors a college where an existing employee studies. Does this need to be reported on form P11D and is Class 1A due ?

I don't think it does need to be reported if the sponsorship is for the college as a whole and not simply for this student.

If the sponsorship is directly related to the student who is attending college then the previous reply (re the work-related training) would apply anyway.

So, all in - no need. For more info though, check the HMRC booklet on benefits to employees: Source(s): http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/employers/ebik/in...
If the employer is paying for the employees study and it is necessary for the job (ie a chef undertaking food hygiene courses) then no liability is due.
However if the employer was paying for a director to go on flower arranging courses or holistic therapy courses as a leisure pastime this would be a benefit in kind as the courses are not related to their job (unless they are a florist etc)
Hope you get the gist of it!
