ZFŚS exemption (PIT art. 21 ust. 1 pkt 67) and ZUS treatment

In Poland, gift cards funded from the company social fund (ZFŚS) are exempt from personal income tax (PIT) up to PLN 1,000 per employee per year (since 2024), subject to the ZFŚS social-criterion test. Money-loaded prepaid cards qualify; paper talony may not.

Samenvatting

  • Source-of-funds rule: only benefits financed entirely from the company social fund (Zakładowy Fundusz Świadczeń Socjalnych — ZFŚS) or trade-union funds qualify for the art. 21 ust. 1 pkt 67 PIT exemption. Gifts funded from working capital are fully taxable.
  • Annual cap per employee: PLN 1,000 per year under art. 21 ust. 1 pkt 67 PIT, in force since 2024.
  • Social-criterion test: the ZFŚS regulations must define an objective social criterion (e.g. household income, family situation) for differentiating the amount per worker. A flat-rate gift to all employees can be challenged.
  • Eligible cards: money-loaded prepaid cards from a defined retailer or network generally qualify as material benefits (świadczenie rzeczowe). Paper talony / bony towarowe may not qualify in all interpretations — confirm with a Polish tax advisor.
  • Above PLN 1,000, the excess is subject to PIT. ZUS (social security) treatment depends on ZFŚS funding — fund-financed benefits are typically exempt from ZUS regardless of the PIT cap.

Relatiegeschenken

Business gifts to clients are deductible as marketing expenses (koszty reklamy) when they are of low unit value and carry the company's branding. Gifts qualifying as entertainment (koszty reprezentacji) are not deductible under art. 16 CIT.

Veelgestelde vragen

What is the current PIT exemption cap for ZFŚS-funded gifts?

PLN 1,000 per employee per year under art. 21 ust. 1 pkt 67 PIT, in force since 2024.

Can a company without a ZFŚS use this exemption?

No. The exemption is conditional on the gift being financed from the company social fund. Smaller companies that have opted out of the ZFŚS cannot use this exemption — gifts financed from operating funds are taxable from the first złoty.

Do paper talony / bony towarowe qualify?

Money-loaded prepaid cards from a defined retailer or network generally qualify as material benefits. Paper talony are treated more conservatively in some interpretations — confirm with a Polish tax advisor before relying on them.

Are ZFŚS gift cards subject to ZUS social security?

Benefits financed from the ZFŚS are typically exempt from ZUS contributions under the rozporządzenie ministra pracy regulation. The PIT and ZUS treatments are evaluated separately.
