During the holiday season, it’s customary for businesses to express appreciation for their employees through the giving of gifts. When these gifts are infrequent and possess a low fair market value, they can be classified as a de minimis fringe benefit. This categorization renders the gifts tax-free for employees, while simultaneously allowing employers to deduct the costs from their taxable income.
