Staff Gifts, Parties and HMRC: The Christmas Rules for Businesses

from For Finances Sake (FFS) · host Rachael Chadwick-Harrison

In this episode of FFS: For Finance’s Sake, I’m unpacking what you can and definitely can’t get away with at Christmas as a business owner. From staff gifts and festive perks to office parties, Prosecco, cash in sparkly envelopes, and those “it’ll be fine, surely?” moments. We’ll also cover Christmas parties, what’s allowable, what tips it over the edge, and how one extra pound can make the whole thing taxable. So before you reach for the company card, pour a drink, grab your receipts, and let’s make sure your Christmas generosity doesn’t turn into a January tax headache.
