What is the Corporate Flu Vaccination Service?
Boots are offering Employers the opportunity to purchase vouchers for their employees, which they can exchange for the flu vaccination at any eligible Boots Pharmacy nationwide. Employers can sign up online and purchase e-vouchers which they will then email or text out to each employee from the information provided. The employee can then book their flu vaccination online and enter the voucher code to ensure they benefit from the jab free of charge!
What are the benefits of using this service?
Flu is a viral illness, which is very contagious and can spread very easily. There may be an increase in the number of flu cases this autumn and winter due to the lack of exposure to the flu virus last winter when there was a reduction in social contact. By protecting employees from catching the virus, it should reduce flu related absenteeism. The scheme is cost effective, with a simple online process and access to over 2,000 Boots Pharmacies nationwide.
Are there any tax implications?
The e-vouchers are exempt from VAT.
Due to the value, the vouchers should be considered a minor and trivial benefit and therefore exempt from any benefit in kind tax as well.
