A non-cash benefit provided by your employer that is taxable as if it were income.
A Benefit in Kind is a non-cash benefit from your employer — like a company car, private medical insurance, or interest-free loans — that is treated as taxable income. The taxable value is added to your income for tax purposes, but not always for NI. Benefits are typically reflected through adjustments to your tax code, reducing your Personal Allowance and increasing your tax bill.
