100% Tax Deductible Gift Ideas
So often, the go to gift for clients, suppliers or other business relationships is restaurant or supermarket vouchers, food or drink - but these are only 50% tax deductible as these types of purchases are considered entertainment
If you want to claim 100% of the cost of your gift for tax purposes, here’s some gift ideas you could consider;
fuel vouchers
massage or beauty therapy treatments or products
homewares (think nice knives, pottery, platters, glassware, chopping boards, candles)
Flowers (not with chocolate!)
Books
Please know that you should never give cash - it’s too hard to prove the purpose if the IRD are looking at your spending and there are fringe benefit issues if the gift is for an employee. Any cash given to employees should still be paid via your payroll system and taxed.
