The 6th of April will see the end of a further easement put in place due to the pandemic, that being the tax and NI disregard on Employer-provided or reimbursed COVID-19 diagnostic tests.
During and since the pandemic this has been in place for all testing for staff and has now been confirmed as ending and as such going forward under general rules, employer-provided coronavirus diagnostic tests are taxable as a Benefit In Kind. This means that employees are subject to Income Tax on the cash equivalent of the employer-provided coronavirus test, and employers are subject to Class 1A National Insurance contributions.
Employer-reimbursed coronavirus diagnostic tests are subject to Income Tax for employees and Class 1 National Insurance contributions for both employers and employees.
