Our client normally has an annual summer meal/party for her dozen employees. The cost is below the £150 per head exemption provided for in ITEPA 2003, s 264.
The client has read that employees can be given vouchers for a meal instead, completely tax free! She is planning to give all of the employees the option of a £60 voucher to spend on a meal for them and their partner/spouse. Each employee will be able to choose where the voucher may be spent and when they will go for the meal. If any employee does not want a meal voucher they can choose to have £60 cash (paid via PAYE).

It seems that most non-cash vouchers are taxable by declaration on form P11D with NICs charged through the payroll when the voucher is gifted. Otherwise a PAYE settlement agreement could be made.
