Small Benefit Scheme
The Small Benefit Scheme (SBS) is a statutory tax relief scheme offered by Irish Revenue that allows employers to provide a tax-exempt benefit to Irish employees of up to €1,000 per year.
To provide tax-free rewards to employees under the Scheme, you must adhere to four basic rules:
1. Below the €1,000 threshold
The benefit cannot exceed the threshold, which was increased from €500 to €1,000 in Budget 2023.
The employer can award an amount of €1,000 or lower, or different amounts to different employees, but no employee can receive more than €1,000 in any one year.
2. Twice per year
The benefit can only be given a maximum two times per year up to a total combined value of €1,000.
As the tax year in Ireland is 1 January to 31 December, this means that an employer can make a €500 award to an employee in January, and then another €500 award in December without any income tax, PRSI (employer or employee) or USC.
3. Non-cash
The benefit must be in non-cash form that cannot be converted into cash. This means that it cannot be paid through payroll, or, for example, on any company expense credit card that could be used at an ATM to withdraw cash.
4. No salary sacrifice
The benefit cannot be funded from a deduction in salary from the employee, so the company needs to be invoiced for the total benefit amount and needs to pay for the total value of the rewards from the company’s own funds.
