I've never heard of anyone being taxed for a smartphone to be honest, pretty sure no one at my work is, they just get given them?  :undecided:

I don't get taxed on mine BUT I'm not allowed to use it for personal calls, texts or data.

Yes, as per, most workplaces  don't declare them for tax purposes as a benefit in kind.

You do LEGALY Have to sign a contract to let them track you though, although if you refuse you loose out on a phone.

Simple to turn of data and most are to cheap skate to track via network provider.
