P11d Section N

This section of the P11d form is for expenses that were paid to employees but that they may use personally.

P11d Section N Exemptions

A P11d form covers tax due on assets or services privately used by an employee like a car and benefits such as healthcare. 

Often employees receive money from their employers which are a simple reimbursement of business expenses (a simple “expense claim”). 

Generally, all cash sum payments to employees should be declared on a P11d however in order to avoid creating an unnecessary administrative burden.

Expenses such as these are covered by a p11d section N exemption and do not need to be included on the P11d form.
