Want to give an incredible gift and save money too? Choose the Lifestyle Gift Card!

While employees may be looking forward to the idea of a Christmas bonus, any cash (paid through payroll) is always subject to tax and national insurance. So, after the taxman has taken their share, your employees may not have enough left to buy their Christmas turkey!

There is another way – which will cost you less and is tax free* too!

Instead, by giving a £50 Lifestyle Gift Card, your employees get the value of the whole £50 tax-free, to spend on 500+ quality brands. They can buy essentials and presents they're guaranteed to love!

Giving £50 of Lifestyle at Christmas is always cheaper than giving £50 in cash, so don’t delay and get in your Christmas orders.

So what is a trivial benefit?

A tax-free Christmas gift is sometimes referred to as trivial benefits, or benefits in kind - but in short, it’s the perk that the HMRC allows so employers can give something small, like food, chocolates, wine or even a turkey as an ‘allowable expense’.

In short, it’s not declared, and you can offset it against your tax bill. It’s a super way to stretch that budget, because the fact is - cash isn’t kind.*

The savings -v- cash

Any cash payment made to an employee is subject to tax and national insurance contributions.
Using the trivial benefits exemption* a £50 gift card costs the employer £50 and the employee gets £50 of value. Whereas £50 paid through payroll would cost the employer £56.90 (after employer NIC's) and for a basic rate taxpayer would be worth £34 after tax and NI. Less for higher rate taxpayers.
