Former G4S Employee Alleges Company Fostered a ‘Culture’ of Not Providing Benefit-in-Kind for Cars.

A former employee of G4S, one of the world’s largest security firms, has claimed that the company has a “culture” of not paying the benefit-in-kind tax on cars provided to its employees. In an exclusive interview with our publication, the ex-worker has revealed that he was only made aware of the potential tax liability after he left his job at the company. The allegations are likely to raise concerns about the corporate governance of G4S and its compliance with tax laws. Our investigation delves into the details of the claims and highlights the potential consequences for the company and its employees.


A former salesman at G4S alleges that there was a company-wide culture of not paying benefit-in-kind on company cars, and that when he queried this, he was warned it would “ruin it for everyone”. The company has admitted it was forced to make a “substantial payment” to the Revenue Commissioners after it found that “a number of employees” driving company cars had built up tax liabilities. Eamonn Young, the former business development manager, brought a Payment of Wages Act 1994 complaint against the company after it made a final deduction of more than €7,347 from his pay when he resigned. G4S said the sum related to an accruing debt that Young “should have been paying” to Revenue.


In conclusion, the allegations made by the ex-G4S worker have shed light on the company’s alleged “culture” of not providing benefit-in-kind on cars to its employees. While G4S has denied these claims, it is crucial that any such accusations are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. It is also essential for companies to ensure that their policies and practices are fair and transparent, and that employees receive all the benefits they are entitled to. We hope that this story serves as a reminder that companies must prioritize their employees’ well-being and rights, and be held accountable for any misconduct or wrongdoing.
