Abolish limit on tax-free spending by employers on parties and social functions

Petition Details

Following the pandemic, many employers want to reward staff with a social function but companies must pay taxes on this if more than £150 per head is spent on event. The Government scrap the £150 per head cap and allow employers to spend as they see fit, tax-free.

Additional Information

The £150 must cover all costs of an event, including taxis, overnight accommodation and VAT. If employers spend even one penny more than this on their company party, then the entire benefit is taxable – not just the amount that exceeds the £150.

It’s time to ditch the cap on tax-free costs for staff social functions. Let UK employers give back to their people without penalising them. If you want to encourage staff, build camaraderie after so long in isolation, and support the mental health of our nation’s workers, scrap the cap.
