Policy
Some University suppliers have agreed to offer University employees a special discounted price for their products.
Procedure
- Employees must purchase the items directly from the supplier (i.e. not using a University Purchase Order), receive the goods, the subsequent invoice and make payment to the supplier personally.
- Any disputes over the product are the responsibility of the employee not the University.
Tax implications
This is not deemed to be a taxable benefit and does not need to be recorded on the P11D form.
