Giving gift cards as Christmas present to your employees? Beware, not all gift cards are tax deductible!
Are you planning to give your employees a gift card this Christmas?
To be deductible the total given needs to be under $300 per employee and they cannot be classed as an entertainment type gift card/voucher!
What is classified as an entertainment gift card?
Entertainment gift cards are gift cards that supply recreational activities such as movie tickets, theatre/musical tickets, live music show tickets, sporting event tickets, club membership or can be used towards a holiday.
So remember, to be deductible they need to be ordinary gift cards which are redeemed for goods.
