How trivial benefits works

Four conditions. PerkPing meets all four.

Under Section 323A ITEPA 2003, a benefit is exempt from income tax and National Insurance when it ticks every box below.

£50 or less per occasion

Each PerkPing gift is £25 — comfortably under the cap.

Not cash or a cash voucher

A retailer gift card is a non-cash benefit.

Not a reward for work or performance

It's a standing team perk, not tied to output or targets.

Not in the employee's contract

A discretionary benefit, not a contractual entitlement.

General information, not tax advice. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances — confirm the arrangement with your accountant.

Why PerkPing fits

Designed for the exemption, not bolted onto it

Built around the rules

£25 non-cash gift cards sit squarely inside the four trivial-benefits conditions. PerkPing keeps the value per occasion under the £50 threshold by design.

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, every month, every employee is recorded in your dashboard — 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 rewards your team once, then it's forgotten by February. PerkPing keeps the benefit running every month — each gift under the £50 threshold — so the goodwill compounds all year instead of spiking once. Same tax framing, twelve times the moments that matter, and nothing to re-order.
