Can I Claim Corporate Gifts as Tax Deduction

Claiming corporate or promotional gifts as a tax deduction is possible.  However, you must meet certain requirements.

 

The gifts have to have your company name on them so that they are easily identifiable as a corporate gift.

 

The gift must be part of a total campaign, where a number of your clients receive the same gift. For example, you can not buy a personal diary for only one client.  Gifts that are seen as personal "enrichment" for one person can not be claimed.

 

However, you are giving that gift as a sample, as the client is a reseller, then it can be seen as a promotional item.

 

When giving gifts like wine, be sure to add your company's personalised label. Over and above this ensure that you corporate gifting company supplies a sales invoice that clearly states that the wone has customised labels with a company logo on it.  You may be required to provide a copy of this invoice as proof that the wine order was for promotional gifts. If you want to be 100% sure, then even take a photo of the bottles with the label on it.
