Employee Gift - Tax Free ?

[DSLiverpool]

I want to give one of my staff a thank you spa voucher circa £100 - is this tax free for the employee - can I just do it with no paperwork / declaration?

If you want it to be tax free for the employee then you will need to pay the tax on it as the employer.

Whenever we do anything like this for our guys we have to declare it on the PSA and pay the tax at that point.

ETA IIRC it's treated as cash

Or just run off with her and save the £100?

Yes it's assessed for tax via P11D.

To be honest it's not worth the administration aggravation to the business for such a small amount. Where I have wanted to do something like this I just pay personally for it.

As said you have declare it on the PSA.

From memory aren't you allowed £50 per person per tax year without declaring it.
