Mr. Hammond

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether payments made by public sector employers to employees working within the Central London congestion charging zone by way of reimbursement of congestion charges incurred on travel to their place of work will be treated as taxable emoluments, subject to(a) tax and NI payments by the recipient employee and (b) employers' NI contributions.

Yes, in the same way as other payments made by employers to employees for travel costs to their normal place of work.
