Avoid unexpected tax charges by understanding what qualifies as a trivial benefit under HMRC rules. Learn how to reward staff and directors in a tax-efficient way, while staying compliant and strengthening your workplace culture.

This practical webinar is ideal for business owners, directors, and anyone involved in managing staff rewards or company expenses. You will gain clarity on what counts as a trivial benefit, how to treat staff entertainment, and how to make the most of available exemptions without falling foul of HMRC regulations.

What will be covered:

  • What counts as a 'trivial benefit' – including value limits, qualifying conditions, and common examples that are (and aren’t) exempt from tax.
  • Client vs employee entertainment – how to treat staff events, meals, and gifts for tax purposes.
  • Staff parties and annual functions – how to make the most of the £150 per head exemption and avoid costly mistakes.
