Small Benefits
Exemption

Revenue now allows up to two non-cash benefits (including gifts) per employee, per annum, up to €1000. PAYE, PRSI, USC need not be applied to the benefit.

This change applies from 2022 and subsequent years.

Long Service
Awards Allowance

Revenue also offers generous tax relief on Long Service Awards, ONLY when the awards take the form of tangible gifts. PAYE, PRSI or USC need not be applied to the benefit. The allowance is €50 for each year of service, starting at 20 years and every five years after that.

This represents up to 57% savings over long service awards made in the form of cash or vouchers.
