Employers are under no legal obligation to provide parking for employees.

If your workplace provides free parking to employees it is asking those who use public transport or walk or cycle to work to subsidise those who drive. Hardly very eco-friendly.

If you are given free parking at your work & your car is not needed for your job then you can be taxed heavily (dependant on location) as receiving a "benefit in kind" I don't know how much our paying but if it's not much your employer could be doing you a favour by charging as this (provided it's not a very low figure) negates any "benefit in kind"
