Employee gifts are small or larger gifts with which companies express their recognition and gratitude for the commitment of their employees. Whether for a birthday, company anniversary, end of the year, or as a spontaneous surprise.
In addition to classic gifts such as vouchers, luxury items, or gifts in kind, creative or personalized gifts are also well received. The important thing is that they are authentic and appropriate for the occasion and the corporate culture.
Examples of employee gifts:
- Gift cards for local or national providers
- Gourmet boxes or personalized gifts
- Flowers, books, or leisure items
Tax rules: Gifts for personal occasions (e.g., birthdays) are tax-free up to $60 including sales tax per occasion (Section 8 (2) EStG). In addition, regularly recurring gifts in kind up to 50 euros per month can be granted tax-free as benefits in kind. Platforms such as HelloBonnie support companies in easily implementing tax-compliant and individual gift options through individual benefit cards.
