Are Christmas Gifts To Employees Taxable? by saintneo(m): 5:52pm On Dec 20, 2021 |
Not sure if this can be in politics; however, I know this post will reach more audience. MOD feel free to move to appropriate section. Accountants, Lawyers, knowledgeable persons on taxes in Nigeria. If an employer decides to give Christmas gifts to employees, will this gift be taxable? If the gift is a bag of rice how will it be taxed? If the monetary equivalent, will it be taxed? 1 Like |

Is it possible for someone to tax a free gift or good. stingy employer capital No You had already been taxed when you bought the goods or gifts...from the seller.. You are not reselling it back but giving it out for free so it can't be taxed 20 Likes |

Such gifts cannot be taxed in the hands of the employees. However, depending on the amount involved, FIRS may disallow it as an unallowable expenses for the purpose of computing CIT. 11 Likes |

Re: Are Christmas Gifts To Employees Taxable? by okposm: 7:37pm On Dec 20, 2021 |
saintneo: Those things are taxable if u really want to follow the law under PIT. They are called BIK benefit in kind and 5% is the total value is taxable. But u can just find one expense head and warehouse there. Then under CIT certain conditions have to be met for it to be tax deductible. Such gift must bear the company name on it. Which we know bag of rice will not meet that criteria. So just spread it across some expense heads and don't describe it as bag of rice cos if FIRS gets hold of the GL, it will be disallowed. 13 Likes |

Usually Christmas gift to staff in corporate companies in Nigeria like banks and the organised private sector come in the form of 13th month which is your monthly basic salary and it isn't taxable. 1 Like |
Re: Are Christmas Gifts To Employees Taxable? by Focusmind: 7:38pm On Dec 20, 2021 |
Yes. It is taxable. The new Personal Income Tax Amendment Act 2011 has now brought everything under the tax net. As long as the expenses were incurred on behalf of staff, the monetary equivalent should form part of the staff total emoluments for any relevant year and tax accordingly. 4 Likes |
Re: Are Christmas Gifts To Employees Taxable? by chloride6: 7:42pm On Dec 20, 2021 |
Lmao... The only thing that isn't taxable is receipted expenses like Lunch etc... The law gives you 20 plus 1 consolidated relief allowance anything else is taxable. Even if the company provided a driver for you.. The tax man will calculate a value for that service add it to your salary and you'll pay tax on it.. Lol 2 Likes |

That's BIK and it's taxable. The new PIT law states this specifically, even 13th month salary which used to be untaxed, is now taxable since it's a bonus. 3 Likes |
