Corporate healthcare benefits no BIK: smart, tax‑efficient care for Newmarket businesses

In Newmarket, where performance is measured in seconds on the gallops, early detection matters for both horses and people. Employers can offer meaningful, tax‑efficient healthcare that protects staff health and keeps your business productive — without creating a taxable benefit in kind (BIK) for employees. Mayfield Clinic brings private GP expertise to Newmarket employers with fast access to doctors and continuity of care from a named clinician.

Which employer health benefits are tax exempt?

Under current UK tax rules, an employer can provide each employee with one health screening assessment and one medical check‑up per tax year that are exempt from being treated as a taxable benefit in kind.

That exemption means no income tax or National Insurance Contributions are due on those specific checks. At Mayfield Clinic we structure corporate health programmes around this allowance while offering clear, documented outcomes for both employees and HR teams.

What a tax‑free staff health screening looks like

Our Business Health MOTs and employee annual medicals typically include:

These assessments work as a single annual medical and/or a health screening assessment that can fall within the BIK exemption — making them both clinically useful and tax efficient.

How Mayfield Clinic supports Newmarket employers

We design flexible corporate healthcare solutions for businesses in Newmarket and the surrounding area. Options include on‑site health screening days, appointments at our clinics, or a hybrid model. Although we welcome Newmarket patients, clinical delivery is provided from our Cambridge location — you can find details here: Mayfield Clinic Cambridge. For local listing and directions see our Newmarket page: Mayfield Clinic Newmarket.

Fast access and the same named GP

Two things our clients value most: rapid appointment access and continuity with the same named doctor for each employee. This reduces repeat history taking, builds trust and improves clinical accuracy — especially for follow‑ups and long‑term health plans.

Practical steps to set up a tax‑efficient corporate scheme

  1. Contact our corporate team to discuss headcount and preferred delivery (on‑site, clinic, hybrid).
  2. Agree a screening package and schedule; we provide a written programme that maps each check to the BIK exemption where relevant.
  3. Collect employee consents for confidential reporting; we provide individual reports and anonymised HR summaries if required.
  4. Book appointments online via the Book now button; members can book directly by phone or WhatsApp.

Reporting, confidentiality and HR value

Each employee receives a detailed medical report and personalised recommendations. With explicit consent we provide aggregated, anonymised reports to HR so you can track workforce health trends without compromising privacy. This helps reduce sickness absence, target interventions and measure return on investment.

Beyond the BIK exemption — membership and extended benefits

If you want to expand benefits beyond the one screening and one medical check per tax year, we offer corporate membership schemes and additional corporate GP services that can be integrated into broader employee benefits packages. These can be structured to be tax efficient — we recommend discussing specific tax treatment with your accountant alongside our clinical team.

Local note for employers in Newmarket

Newmarket’s strong focus on performance and wellbeing makes it sensible to prioritise preventive healthcare. Many local employers already use our Cambridge clinic for staff checks; travel time is usually under 30 minutes from central Newmarket and we can often arrange on‑site clinics for larger teams.

Return on investment

Regular health screening helps detect risk factors early, reduce long‑term sickness and improve staff retention. For employers in Newmarket this means a healthier, more reliable workforce and a tangible staff benefit that demonstrates your commitment to wellbeing.

Next steps

Frequently asked questions

Can my company provide tax‑free employee health checks in Newmarket?

Yes. Under current UK rules employers may provide each employee with one health screening assessment and one medical check‑up per tax year that are exempt from being treated as a taxable benefit in kind. Mayfield Clinic can deliver these checks for Newmarket businesses (clinically carried out from our Cambridge clinic) and design programmes so the eligible checks align with the BIK exemption. For detailed tax treatment of other benefits, consult your accountant.

What’s included in a corporate health screening or employee annual medical?

A corporate health screening typically includes a GP consultation, physical examination, blood tests (cholesterol, glucose, liver/kidney function and more), blood pressure and cardiovascular risk assessment, lifestyle and mental wellbeing questions, plus a personalised report. Mayfield Clinic provides individual reports to employees and anonymised summary reporting for HR where employees consent. These services are available to Newmarket employers either on‑site or at our Cambridge clinic.

How do I arrange on‑site or clinic health screenings for Newmarket staff?

Arrange an on‑site or clinic screening by contacting our corporate team. We’ll agree scope, dates and headcount, provide a written programme, and handle consent and scheduling. Although we serve Newmarket clients, clinical delivery is from our Cambridge location; on‑site options remain available for larger groups. Bookings are made online via the Book now button; members can also book by phone or WhatsApp.
