Like incomes, dividends, and bonuses, future benefits in kind can be increased or decreased at future events using the Step Up / Step Down feature.
5. Timeline: Select the event at which the increase or decrease in benefits will occur - e.g. "Increase benefits".
6. Benefits in Kind: Enter the full stepped amount. When entering a future steps in incomes or benefits, be sure to enter the full, edited amount and not merely the difference between the old income and new.
Leave any entries that will not be changed (e.g. bonuses and commission, dividends) unticked.
