Below you have an overview of the new rules on tax-free gift cards for employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Danish Parliament in Denmark made it possible for both public and private employers to give tax-free gift cards to their employees. This way they can appreciate their efforts, or simply to support restaurants, cultural life, etc.<\/p>\n

Who can receive a tax-free gift card?<\/h3>\n

Tax-free gift cards can only be given to people who are employees. The rules do not apply to consultants, fee recipients, trainees, former employees, board members and others.<\/p>\n

And how much must the companies give?<\/h3>\n

The gift card may not exceed DKK 1,200. Several gift cards may be given, as long as the total amount does not exceed DKK 1,200.<\/p>\n

And for what purpose?<\/h3>\n

The rules only apply to gift cards that can be used to pay for one or more of the following specific services:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Purchase of food and drink at restaurants, cafes, burger bars and pizzerias. It is a requirement that the restaurant’s primary revenue comes from seated guests.<\/li>\n
  • Purchase of accommodation in hotels, inns, holiday centers, campsites as well as holiday homes and travel agencies.<\/li>\n
  • Purchase of experiences for amusement parks, theaters, concert venues, music festivals, cinemas, museums, circuses, zoo, and sporting events of all kinds, including football and handball matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It is not possible to give gift cards to a trade union or center association for use among all its members.<\/p>\n

    Only electronic and physical gift cards<\/h3>\n

    The gift card must be an electronic or physical voucher. It is not possible to give an employee DKK 1,200 in cash, even if the employee returns with bills from a restaurant etc.<\/p>\n

    Time horizon \u2013 2021<\/h3>\n

    The scheme only applies to gift cards given to employees in the calendar year 2021. It is not a requirement that the gift cards must be used before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

    No reporting obligation<\/h3>\n

    Employers do not have to report to the Danish Tax Agency about any given gift cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
