  • F – Housing – units of accommodation provided

    Warning:

    This information may not apply to the current year. Check the content carefully to ensure it is applicable to your circumstances.

    End of attention

    Housing benefits relate only to accommodation you provide that is the employee’s usual place of residence. Under the separate headings at item F, you must show:

    • the taxable value of the benefits
    • any employee contributions towards those benefits.

    The employer calculates the housing benefit as follows:

    $26,000 – $2,600 = $23,400

    The employer shows this at item 23 as:
