The Tax-Free Way to Say "Thank You": Why an Ogilvy & More Gift Card is Your Best Move

Let’s be honest: standard corporate gifting often feels like a box-ticking exercise. But what if you could treat your team to artisanal luxury while keeping the taxman happy?
Enter the HMRC Trivial Benefits rule. It’s one of the few genuine "win-wins" in the tax code, and the Ogilvy & More Gift Card is the ultimate way to use it.

What’s the "Trivial Benefit" Trick?

HMRC allows you to give your employees a gift of up to £50 (including VAT) completely tax-free. No National Insurance to pay, no need to report it on a P11D, and it’s a fully deductible business expense.
The catch? It can’t be cash, it can’t be a reward for performance, and it can’t be part of a contract. It has to be a "just because" gesture—the perfect excuse for an unexpected thank you.

Why Ogilvy & More?

A £50 gift card to a generic supermarket feels like a chore. A £50 gift card to Ogilvy & More feels like an event.
By choosing our gift card, you’re giving your staff access to:

  • Artisan Selection: From world-class cheeses to boutique wines and luxury hampers.
  • The Power of Choice: They choose exactly what they crave, whether it’s a Friday night treat or a gourmet pantry restock.
  • Memorable Quality: We don’t do "ordinary." We do exceptional.

Maximize Morale, Minimize Tax

The £50 limit is the sweet spot. It stays within the HMRC threshold while providing enough "buying power" for a truly premium experience at our shop. It shows your team you value their hard work and have great taste, all while protecting your bottom line.
Ready to boost team spirits the smart way? Grab an Ogilvy & More Gift Card today and turn a tax exemption into a celebration of fine food.
