Employer trying to gift but not be liable for FBT
Hi there @L_K
Non-entertainment gifts given to staff (including working directors) are usually exempt from FBT where the total cost is less than $300 inclusive of GST per staff member.
Gift vouchers fall into the non-entertainment category.
A tax deduction and GST credit can also be claimed.
For more information have a read of Common entertainment scenarios for business this might shed some light on your situation.
