What Are Trivial Benefits?

Trivial Benefits are small, non-work-related gifts that your company can provide to you (as a director) or your employees without triggering income tax or National Insurance.

To qualify, each benefit must:
• Cost £50 or less per item.
• Not be cash or a cash voucher.
• Not be a reward for work or performance.
• Not be part of a contractual entitlement.

Examples include small gifts, meals, flowers, chocolates, gift vouchers (non-cash), or celebration treats. £300 worth of Trivial Benefits per tax year (maximum of six benefits at £50 each).

HMRC Rules for Christmas Parties and Staff Gifts (2025)

This guide explains how UK businesses can provide Christmas parties and seasonal gifts to employees while remaining tax-efficient and compliant with HMRC rules.
Staff Christmas Parties & Social Events
HMRC allows a tax exemption for annual staff events, but only if:
1. The event is an annual function (e.g., Christmas party).
2. It is open to all employees (or all staff at a location).
3. The total cost does not exceed £150 per head, including VAT.
Cost per head must include food, drink, entertainment, venue hire, transport, accommodation, and any guests attending.

If a business holds multiple events, the exemption can apply to any combination as long as the total does not exceed £150 per person.

If the limit is exceeded by even £1, the entire amount becomes taxable, not just the excess.

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax

From 6 April 2026, if you earn more than £50,000 a year from self-employment and/or property, you must report your income and expenses using HMRC’s Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD ITSA) system.

What this means for you
• Quarterly reporting: Instead of one annual return, you’ll submit updates every 3 months.
• Digital records: You’ll need to use HMRC-approved software.
• Earlier preparation: HMRC is inviting taxpayers to join early testing of the system before it becomes compulsory.

Why sign up early?
✔ Learn the new system before it’s mandatory
✔ Adapt your business processes in advance
✔ Access HMRC’s dedicated MTD support team
✔ Gain confidence with MTD-compatible software

What you’ll need
• MTD-approved software
• A Government Gateway or Agent Services Account
• Your income details (self-employment & property)
• Your approval for us to register you

Next steps
We will contact you if you are affected, but you can also sign up early through HMRC:
