    Senior civil servants' tax bills paid using public money

    Britain's most senior civil servants are having part of their tax bills paid using public money in an

    arrangement that leaves them tens of thousands of pounds better off every year.

    Sir Jeremy, who is paid £185,000, enjoys the use of a chauffeur-driven Toyota Prius as Britain's

    most senior civil servant.

    Whitehall departments are picking up the tax bills for perks such as official cars, first-class rail travel

    and rent-free accommodation.

    The arrangements, which were described by tax advisers as "highly unusual", were made between

    government departments and the taxman as part of a deal agreed more than a decade ago.

    The effect of the deal is to increase the value of officials' pay packages by up to £30,000 a year

    at the expense of taxpayers.

    Those who benefited from the scheme include Sir Jeremy Heywood, the Cabinet Secretary;

    Sir David Nicholson, the head of NHS England; and Phillippa Williamson, the former head of

    the Serious Fraud Office.

    Richard Bacon, a Conservative member of the public accounts committee, said he was "concerned"

    that officials are being given tax-free benefits while members of the public have to pay the taxman for theirs.
