Tax benefits

Giving Gifts to Clients

A company can give a WRA gift certificate up to $25 to a customer and it is a 100% tax deductible business expense.

However, if the gift certificate is over $25, only the first $25 is deductible unless the recipent declares it as taxable income. One exception is if the gift certificate is given to a company rather than an individual. Then it does not matter what the price is, it is 100% tax deductible.

Giving Gifts to Employees

A business that gives WRA gift certificates to its employees can take a 100% tax deduction ONLY if the value of the certificate is added to the employee's W-2 form as income. Otherwise, the gift is non-tax-deductible.
