[LUG] tax liability

 

Just thought of something here

if a company were to give employees a copy of MS office to use at home,  
partly so employess can open .doc documents at home but also to perhaps 
work from home or learn software at home,  i presume there would be some 
sort of tax on the software value as its classifed as income, 

however if the software is openoffice,  there is no such cost to the 
software therefore would the employee be liable to pay tax on the 
retails value of Openoffice, whichis £0.00 or perhaps £0.50 if the cost 
of the cd is taken in to account

just wondered what the situation would be tax wise.
