It is important for benefits professionals, as well as finance professionals, to be aware of tax issues surrounding salary sacrifice schemes, said Lesley Fidler, tax director at Baker Tilly.
Fidler was interviewed by Debi O’Donovan, editor of Employee Benefits magazine, at Employee Benefits Live in September.
Fidler added that big tax-related issues facing employers this year are those concerning pensions auto-enrolment and the misunderstandings surrounding bikes-for-works schemes.
