At least we can be sure that all the police granted this free travel
privilege will have declared it ti HM Revenue and Customs and will be
paying income tax and national insurance on the vakue of the benefit
in kind.
It's not a benefit in kind to the officers, quite the opposite. They
are contributing towards their travel by providing a service during
the journey.
Even if it were, there is also the question of who is providing the
arrangement. If it is not under the control of the police authority,
it is doubtful it could be taken to be an employee benefit anyway.
Do pay attention.
