1. ''Accounting.''
(LEL). ''Pensions and tax.''
 
The level of income determined by the UK Treasury which allows employees to qualify for certain state benefits.   
The value as recorded in a company’s books, in other words its accounts including its published balance sheet. 
 
 
Historically, the book value of an asset was generally its original cost less any depreciation or other write-down in value. 
 
This was distinct from - and could be very different from - prevailing market value, the fair market price which an asset might be expected to raise if offered for sale(Or at which a liability might be settled.)
 
 
In order to address the problems arising from differences between book values and market values, accounting practice has moved substantially toward a system of book valuation which is aligned more closely with market values.
 
 
2. ''Record keeping.''
 
A value recorded in an internal record of any kind, not necessarily accounting books and records.
 
Distinguished from the current market value.


The primary threshold triggers payment of Class 1 National Insurance contributions.
