Trivial benefits for staff, up to £300 a tax year.
Every employee can get up to £300 a tax year in trivial benefits. They choose their retailer. You choose the months.
Staff pick a gift card from brands they already use
The conditions of the exemption.
PerkPing checks each of these 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. Above £50 the whole gift would be taxable. Each charge buys a new voucher.
£300 per person each tax year
PerkPing stops at £300 of gift cards per person from 6 April to 5 April, in every billing mode. That is the close-company director cap, applied to everyone on the platform. 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 for work or performance
It is a discretionary team perk, kept separate from output and targets.
Not in the contract
It is 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. No reply means nothing is collected.
General information, not tax advice. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances — confirm the arrangement with your accountant.
Designed for the exemption, not bolted onto it
Built around the rules
Every gift is a new £25 or £50 voucher, inside £50 a time and £300 a person each tax year. The limits are in the product, so a charge cannot step outside them.
Non-cash, their choice
Each employee picks a retailer they actually shop at — Amazon, Tesco, M&S and more. A real gift card, not cash, not a generic voucher nobody uses.
A clean audit trail
Every gift is recorded in your dashboard — date, amount, recipient — so the paperwork is there if your accountant or HMRC ever wants to see it.
Not just a Christmas gift
A one-off card bought in December is a single occasion, then it's forgotten by February. Each PerkPing gift is a new £25 or £50 voucher. A December card uses the exemption once. Twelve £25 vouchers are the whole £300. You choose how many of those months to use. Nothing is collected unless a gift is sent.
Set up the giftsChoose each month is there when you want each gift separately approved. Nothing is collected unless you pick £25 or £50. Up to six gifts, and the same £300 ceiling from 6 April to 5 April. The £25 per month offer stays available.
