Are gift cards for employees taxable in the US?
In the US, yes. Gift cards count as cash, so the small-gift exception that covers a holiday ham or a team lunch doesnât apply to them.
- They are taxed as pay at any amount, even $10, and go through payroll.
- Many companies cover the tax for the employee, known as a gross-up.
- Rules differ by country, so check with your payroll team before a global send.
