Trivial benefits for directors, a maximum of £300 per year
Close-company directors can take a maximum of £300 per year in qualifying trivial benefits. You choose the months. Each gift is a new gift card, paid from your company bank account only when it is sent.
Pick a gift card from brands you already use
£50 per occasion. £300 per year. PerkPing fits both.
On the automatic setting, £25 per month is twelve separate vouchers and uses the whole £300. PerkPing checks the list below before it collects.
£50 or less per occasion
Each gift is a £25 or £50 gift card, plus a £1 processing fee. The gift card costs no more than £50. Each charge buys a new voucher.
£300 per person, every tax year
PerkPing stops at £300 of gift cards per person from 6 April to 5 April. The £1 fee sits outside the £300. Trivial benefits already given this tax year reduce what is left of the £300.
Not cash or a cash voucher
A retailer gift card is a non-cash benefit.
Not a reward, and not an entitlement
The gift is discretionary. It is not a reward for work, not a term of the contract, and not a salary sacrifice. On Choose each month there is no gift unless you approve one that month.

Or choose each month
Choose each month asks you before it collects. You pick Skip, £25, or £50 for each person. Nothing is collected if you do not reply, so there is no standing entitlement. Up to six gifts and £300 of gift cards from 6 April to 5 April — the same ceiling as the automatic setting of £25 per month.
