The Government adverts tell us that "tax needn't be taxing".  Well it is and UK domestic employee relocation costs are no exception. The subject of tax is almost as confusing as the British electorate but here we will try to make the subject a little clearer to understand.

If your organisation contributes towards employee relocation costs, the organisation has certain tax, National Insurance and reporting obligations, so you need to be aware of which relocation costs incur tax and what needs to be reported to HMRC. In terms of the technicalities of reporting, you can very happily leave that to your accounts department to deal with.
