It depends on the value of the flat - if it is in excess os £75,000 then yes you and your friend will be taxed on this as a benefit in kind. However, if you were to pay a contribution to your company this would reduce the taxable benefit.

Hi yes the flat is £ 395.00 per week in rent. So for the year this would cost £ 20,540.00 in rent in which the company would pay.

So between us do we pay 40% of the £ 20,540.00 each or half?

Sorry - the benefit is calculated on either the cost of the flat or the market value of the flat (depending on how it has been used by your employer) less £75000 plus an annual rateable charge. Both of these should be less than £20,540. And yes, the total benefit would be split between you.
