Accountants Robinson Reed Layton recently won a battle with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), which clarifies the law concerning tax and gamekeepers cottages.
Tax partner James Bailey said: Shooters know that it is common for a keeper to be provided with accommodation by his employer, but what is less known is that, if the cottage is rent free, there is a risk that HMRC would treat it as a taxable perk, charging the keeper income tax on the annual value of living there and the employer national insurance at 12.8 per cent on the same amount.
