# Guide: Benefits in kind

As an employer, when you give employees a benefit in kind, you can decide which of the following options to perform:

1. **Payroll the benefit**: this allows you to display the tax charged for the relevant period on the payslip.
2. Submit an annual **P11D** for individual employees and whole pay schemes: this means not payrolling the benefit, but submitting the information on the **P11D** at the end of the year.

### Payrolling the benefit in kind

1. Create the addition heading specific to the Other Payrolled Benefits. [See How do I set up other payrolled benefit addition headings?](/iq/docs/how-do-i-set-up-other-payrolled-benefit-addition-headings)
2. Assign the benefit in kind to the employee. See [How do I assign posts/other payrolled benefits to employees?](/iq/docs/how-do-i-assign-posts-other-payrolled-benefits-to-employees)
3. Display the taxable amount on the employee's payslip. See [How do I display the other payrolled benefit taxable amount on payslips?](/iq/docs/how-do-i-display-the-other-payrolled-benefit-taxable-amount-on-payslips)
