Colleagues

Any rewards from this scheme will be declared as a benefit on a P11D at the end of the tax year in which you were issued it. This means you will be liable to pay tax on the value of the voucher through your pay, in the following tax year after you have received it once the P11D has been submitted. You will also be required to pay National Insurance through your pay once the voucher has been processed, payroll will be in touch regarding this at the time. If you have any questions about this please contact the payroll team.

Everyone else

Any rewards from this scheme should be declared in your annual tax return or as a benefit. Please speak to your accountant if you are unsure. Bruntwood is in no way responsible for any tax implications.

What if I refer a company that turns out to be a confidential project from an agent?

If we didn’t know the company information from the agent before the referral then the reward is still valid.

What if someone else submits the same referral?

All referrals are time-stamped. The reward will be awarded to the person who was first to submit the referral.

Where we receive a referral that has previously been supplied by an agent but under an anonymous project name, then the referral will still be valid.

What if the referrer is already connected to the company they are referring, for example a shareholder, non-exec director, investor or it’s a sister company? Is it still an eligible referral?

Yes, as long as the company being referred would be a new customer to the Bruntwood Group. Expansions or relocations of existing customers are not eligible. 

Are there any alternatives to the rewards provided?

There are no cash alternatives to the rewards already outlined.

When do I get my reward?

Rewards will be issued when a lease or licence has been signed. We will contact you upon completion. If you have not heard from us within 6 months of submitting your referral, please contact fccteam@bruntwood.co.uk for an update.

My contact details have changed, how will you contact me?

If your contact details have changed since you submitted your referral, it is your responsibility to make us aware of your new contact details. Please get in touch with fccteam@bruntwood.co.uk to update them with us.

I have left Bruntwood Group since I made the referral, am I still eligible for the reward?

If you are no longer an employee of Bruntwood since making your referral, you are still eligible for the reward. You need to make fccteam@bruntwood.co.uk aware of your new contact details.
