Lithuania's €200 per employee per calendar year exemption gives employers a genuinely useful budget to work with, especially since only the excess above €200 is taxed rather than the whole gift. Below are 20 branded merchandise ideas spanning apparel, bags, drinkware, tech, and stationery, all priced in EUR, to help you build a gifting programme employees actually use.
What makes a good tax-free gift?
With a combined cash-and-in-kind cap to work within, and a Sodra rule that treats cash gifts less favourably than in-kind ones, it's worth choosing items that earn their place. A few things to look for:
- Everyday usefulness: something employees will actually reach for, at their desk, on the commute, or at the gym.
- Quality that reflects your brand: a well-made bottle or backpack says more about your company than a cheap giveaway.
- In-kind, not cash: in-kind gifts get the more favourable Sodra treatment below €200, so physical products stretch the budget further than a cash top-up.
- Room to mix price points: combine a few higher-value pieces with smaller everyday items to make full use of the €200 exemption across the year.
