(b)the amount foregone with respect to the benefit of the accommodation (see section 69B).

(2)If the amount mentioned in subsection (1)(a) is greater than or equal to the amount mentioned in subsection (1)(b), the “relevant amount” is the cash equivalent of the benefit of the accommodation (see section 103).

(3)Otherwise, the “relevant amount” is the difference between—

(a)the amount foregone with respect to the benefit of the accommodation, and

(b)the deductible amount (see subsections (7) and (8)).

(4)If the amount foregone with respect to the benefit of the accommodation does not exceed the deductible amount, the relevant amount is taken to be zero.

(5)For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2), assume that the modified cash equivalent of the benefit of the accommodation is zero if the condition in subsection (6) is met.

(6)The condition is that the benefit of the accommodation would be exempt from income tax but for section 228A (exclusion of certain exemptions).

(7)If the cost of providing the living accommodation does not exceed £75,000, the “deductible amount” means any sum made good, on or before 6 July following the tax year which contains the taxable period, by the employee to the person at whose cost the accommodation is provided that is properly attributable to its provision.

(8)If the cost of providing the living accommodation exceeds £75,000, the “deductible amount” means the total of amounts A and B where—

  • A is equal to so much of MG as does not exceed RV;

  • B is the amount of any excess rent paid by the employee in respect of the taxable period;

  • MG is the total of any sums made good, on or before 6 July following the tax year which contains the taxable period, by the employee to the person at whose cost the accommodation is provided that are properly attributable to its provision (in the taxable period);

  • RV is the rental value of the accommodation for the taxable period as set out in section 105(3) or (4A)(b) (as applicable).

(9)In subsection (8) “excess rent” means so much of the rent in respect of the taxable period paid—

(a)by the employee,

(b)in respect of the accommodation,

(c)to the person providing it, and

(d)on or before 6 July following the tax year which contains the taxable period,

as exceeds the rental value of the accommodation.

(10)Where it is necessary for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) and (3)(a) to apportion an amount of earnings to the benefit of the accommodation in the taxable period, the apportionment is to be made on a just and reasonable basis.

In this subsection “earnings” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 69B(5).
